9Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord;

do not remember our sins forever.

Oh, look upon us, we pray,

for we are all your people.

10Your sacred cities have become a desert;

even Zion is a desert, Jerusalem a desolation.

11Our holy and glorious temple, where our fathers praised you,

has been burned with fire,

and all that we treasured lies in ruins.

12After all this, O Lord, will you hold yourself back?

Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
