8 But now, O Lord,
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
9 Do not be furious, O Lord,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
11 Our holy and beautiful1 temple,
Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned up with fire;
And all aour pleasant things are laid waste.
Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned up with fire;
And all aour pleasant things are laid waste.
12 aWill You1 restrain Yourself because of these things, O Lord?
bWill You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
