Streams of water run down from my eyes, because they do not observe Your Torah.
I cried out with all my heart, “Answer me, Adonai! I will keep Your decrees.”
But if you will not listen, my soul will sob in secret before such pride, and my eyes will weep bitterly and overflow with tears, for Adonai’s flock will be taken captive.
