³ My ^(A)tears have been my food day and night,
While they ^(B)say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

¹⁷ Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,
Weep ^(A)between the porch and the altar,
And let them say, “^[a](B)Spare Your people, Lord,
And do not make Your inheritance a ^(C)disgrace,
With the nations jeering at them.
Why should those among the peoples say,
‘^(D)Where is their God?’”
