Whydo You forgetus forever?Why do You forsakeus solong?
Howlong,O LORD?Will You forgetme forever?Howlongwill You hideYour facefrom me?
Howlongshall I takecounselin my soul,[Having] sorrowin my heartall the day?Howlongwill my enemybe exaltedoverme?
As a shatteringof my bones,my adversariesrevileme, While they sayto me alldaylong, "Whereis your God?"
Whydo You hideYour face[And] forgetour afflictionand our oppression?
O God,whyhave You rejected[us] forever?Why does Your angersmokeagainst the sheepof Your pasture?
Howlong,O LORD?Will You be angryforever?Will Your jealousyburnlikefire?
Will You be angrywith us forever?Will You prolongYour angerto allgenerations?
Howlong,O LORD?Will You hideYourself forever?Will Your wrathburnlikefire?
But Zionsaid,"The LORDhas forsakenme, And the Lordhas forgottenme."
On your walls,O Jerusalem,I have appointedwatchmen;Alldayand allnightthey will neverkeepsilent.You who remindthe LORD,take norestfor yourselves;
"Whyare You like a mandismayed,Like a mightymanwho cannotsave?Yet You are in our midst,O LORD,And we are calledby Your name;Do not forsakeus!"
