1. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2. Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, this Mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.
3. Lift up thy feet unto the eternal desolations, unto every enemy who has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
