6 And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.
7 But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the earth, and you are our maker; and we are all the work of your hand.
8 Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.
9 Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.
10 Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.
