In God we plead,

Our home's been invaded.

Men have come

Defiling your temple.

They've reduced

Jerus'lem to rubble,

Your servants are dead

Their bodies are left

For beasts and birds of the air.

They've poured out

Their life blood like water

All around

Jerusalem city.

There are none

To bury the dead ones

With words of reproach

Our neighbours deride;

We are made objects of scorn.

How long Lord

Will you remain angry?

Jealously

Will you burn like fire,

Pour your wrath

On these wayward nations,

Their kingdoms are proud

They don't call on you

And don’t acknowledge your name.

For they have,

Devoured our homeland

All you gave

To Jacob and Israel.

And though our father's sinned

Do not blame us.

Come quickly to us.

Have mercy on us

For we are in desperate need.
