How much longer, Lord God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?
I call to you, Lord; don't let me be disgraced. May the wicked be disgraced; may they go silently down to the world of the dead.
But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have with all their grain and wine.
Rise, Lord God Almighty, and come to my aid; see for yourself, God of Israel! Wake up and punish the heathen; show no mercy to evil traitors!
You have made your people suffer greatly; we stagger around as though we were drunk.
Why have you abandoned us like this, O God? Will you be angry with your own people forever?
Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?
Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger never cease?
By a cloud of fury too thick for our prayers to get through.
O God, hear my prayer and pleading. Restore your Temple, which has been destroyed; restore it so that everyone will know that you are God.
The Lord will not forgive such a man. Instead, the Lord's burning anger will flame up against him, and all the disasters written in this book will fall on him until the Lord has destroyed him completely.
