The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity

How the Lord in his anger has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earth the splendor of Israel; he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:

until the Lord from heaven looks down and sees;

You will pursue them in anger and destroy them from under your heavens, O Lord.”

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles in the heavens; they chased us on the mountains; they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
