14 Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music. 15 The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning. 16 The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned! 17 Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes are dim; 18 Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it. 19 Thou, O LORD, dost rule forever; Thy throne is from generation to generation. 20 Why dost Thou forget us forever; Why dost Thou forsake us so long? 21 Restore us to Thee, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old, 22 Unless Thou hast utterly rejected us, And art exceedingly angry with us.
