2 Wail, O cypress, for the ^acedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
^bFor the thick forest has come down. ‡

3 There is the sound of wailing ^ashepherds!
For the¹ir glory is in ruins.
There is the sound of roaring lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.  ‡
