Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, *Where is your God?*
Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
But Tziyon said, the LORD has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.
I have set watchmen on your walls, Yerushalayim; they shall never hold their shalom day nor night: you who call on the LORD, take no rest,
Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? yet you, LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; don't leave us.
