2:20 Look, O Lord! Consider! 1
Whom have you ever afflicted 2 like this?
Should women eat their offspring, 3
their healthy infants? 4
Should priest and prophet
be killed in the Lord’s 5 sanctuary?
5:1 6 O Lord, reflect on 7 what has happened to us;
consider 8 and look at 9 our disgrace.
80:14 O God, invincible warrior, 10 come back!
Look down from heaven and take notice!
Take care of this vine,
80:15 the root 11 your right hand planted,
the shoot you made to grow! 12
80:16 It is burned 13 and cut down.
They die because you are displeased with them. 14
102:19 For he will look down from his sanctuary above; 15
from heaven the Lord will look toward earth, 16
102:20 in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners,
and to set free those condemned to die, 17
62:6 I 18 post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they should keep praying all day and all night. 19
You who pray to 20 the Lord, don’t be silent!
62:7 Don’t allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem, 21
until he makes Jerusalem the pride 22 of the earth.
63:15 Look down from heaven and take notice,
from your holy, majestic palace!
Where are your zeal 23 and power?
Do not hold back your tender compassion! 24
64:1 (63:19b) 25 If only you would tear apart the sky 26 and come down!
The mountains would tremble 27 before you!
9:17 “So now, our God, accept 30 the prayer and requests of your servant, and show favor to 31 your devastated sanctuary for your own sake. 32 9:18 Listen attentively, 33 my God, and hear! Open your eyes and look on our desolated ruins 34 and the city called by your name. 35 For it is not because of our own righteous deeds that we are praying to you, 36 but because your compassion is abundant. 9:19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, pay attention, and act! Don’t delay, for your own sake, O my God! For your city and your people are called by your name.” 37
