17 Because of this our heart is faint;
^aBecause of these things our eyes grow dim; ‡

18 Because of Mount Zion which is ^adesolate,
With foxes walking about on it. ‡

20 ^aWhy do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time? ‡

21 ^aTurn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be¹ restored;
Renew our days as of old, ‡
