15. Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.
16. Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Woe [is] now to us, for we have sinned.
17. For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.
18. For the mount of Zion--that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.
19. Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.
20. Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!
21. Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
22. For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us-- exceedingly?
