The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes have grown dim,
17
Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim
18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: foxes walk over it.
18
for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it.
19 Thou, Jehovah, dwellest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.
19
You, LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, dost thou forsake us so long time?
20
Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long?
21 Turn thou us unto thee, Jehovah, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
21
Restore us to yourself, LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old
22 Or is it that thou hast utterly rejected us? Wouldest thou be exceeding wroth against us?
22
unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
