O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?
Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord, for I call out to you for help. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them lie silent in the grave.
You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, wake up and punish those hostile nations. Show no mercy to wicked traitors. Interlude
You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
O God, why have you rejected us so long? Why is your anger so intense against the sheep of your own pasture?
O Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
You have hidden yourself in a cloud so our prayers cannot reach you.
“O our God, hear your servant’s prayer! Listen as I plead. For your own sake, Lord, smile again on your desolate sanctuary.
The Lord will never pardon such people. Instead his anger and jealousy will burn against them. All the curses written in this book will come down on them, and the Lord will erase their names from under heaven.
