How long, LORD, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me?

Why do you look the other way, and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated?

Then I said,“ LORD, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah? Do you despise the city of Zion? Why have you struck us with such force that we are beyond recovery? We hope for peace, but nothing good has come of it. We hope for a time of relief from our troubles, but experience terror.LORD, we confess that we have been wicked. We confess that our ancestors have done wrong. We have indeed sinned against you.For the honor of your name, do not treat Jerusalem with contempt. Do not treat with disdain the place where your glorious throne sits. Be mindful of your covenant with us. Do not break it!

O LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate?They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast.

I asked,“ Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”Then I said,“ I am sickened by the thought that the sovereign One might become inactive.

How long, O LORD, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?

LORD, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!Your chosen cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin.Our holy temple, our pride and joy, the place where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire; all our prized possessions have been destroyed.In light of all this, how can you still hold back, LORD? How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?

How long will this go on, O LORD? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire?
