1 1WhyH4100 have You rejected us foreverH2186 H5331, O GodH430?Why does Your angerH639 smolderH6225against the sheepH6629 of Your pastureH4830?2RememberH2142 Your congregationH5712,which You purchasedH7069 long agoH6924and redeemedH1350 as the tribeH7626 of Your inheritanceH5159—MountH2022 ZionH6726 H2088, where You dwellH7931.3TurnH7311 Your stepsH6471 to the everlastingH5331 ruinsH4876,to everythingH3605 in the sanctuaryH6944 the enemyH341 has destroyedH7489.

4Your foesH6887 have roaredH7580 withinH7130 Your meeting placeH4150;they have unfurledH7760 their bannersH226 as signsH226,5like menH3045 wieldingH935 axesH7134 in a thicketH5442 of treesH6086 6andH6258 smashingH1986 allH3162 the carvingsH6603 with hatchetsH3781 and picksH3597.7They have burnedH7971 H784 Your sanctuaryH4720 to the groundH776;they have defiledH2490 the dwelling placeH4908 of Your NameH8034.

8They saidH559 in their heartsH3820,“We will crush themH3238 completelyH3162.”They burned downH8313 everyH3605 placeH4150where God met usH410 in the landH776.9There are noH3808 signsH226 for us to seeH7200.There is noH369 longerH5750 any prophetH5030.And noneH3808 of usH854 knowsH3045 how longH5704 this will lastH4100.10How longH5704 H4970, O GodH430, will the enemyH6862 taunt YouH2778?Will the foeH341 revileH5006 Your nameH8034 foreverH5331?11WhyH4100 do You withdrawH7725 Your strongH3027 right handH3225?Stretch it outH7130 H2706 to destroy themH3615!2
