3 He has cut off in fierce anger
Every¹ horn of Israel;
^aHe has drawn back His right hand
From before the enemy.
^bHe has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
Devouring all around. ‡

4 ^aStanding like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain ^ball who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire. ‡

6 He has done violence ^ato His tabernacle,
^bAs if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has ^cspurned the king and the priest. ‡

7 The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has^{1 a}abandoned His sanctuary;
He has given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
^bThey have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast. ‡
