Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
17 For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.
17
Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim
18 For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.
18
for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it.
19 Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.
19
You, LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!
20
Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long?
21 Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
21
Restore us to yourself, LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old
22 For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly?
22
unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
