8. But Lord, you are our father.We are like clay, and you are the potter;your hands made us all.
9. Lord, don’t continue to be angry with us;don’t remember our sins forever.Please, look at us,because we are your people.
10. Your holy cities are empty like the desert.Jerusalem is like a desert;it is destroyed.
11. Our ancestors worshiped youin our holy and wonderful Temple,but now it has been burned with fire,and all our precious things have been destroyed.
