15. The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning.

16. The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned.

17. Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim,

18. For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.

19. But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation.

20. Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time?

21. Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.

22. But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.
