1. O Elohim, the Goyim are come into Thine Nachalah; Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled; they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble.
2. The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given to be food unto the oph HaShomayim, the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth.
3. Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim; and there is none to bury them.
4. We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors), a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5. How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)? Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish?
