1 Poor me!
2 Faithful people are gone from the earth,
3 Their hands are skilled in doing evil.
4 The best of them is like a briar.
5 Don’t trust your neighbors.
6 A son treats his father with contempt.
7 I will look to the Lord.
8 Don’t laugh at me, my enemies.
9 I have sinned against the Lord.
10 Then my enemies will see this, and they will be covered with shame,
11 The day for rebuilding your walls
12 When that day comes, your people will come to you
13 The earth will become a wasteland for those who live on it
14 With your shepherd’s staff, take care of your people,
15 Let us see miracles
16 Nations will see this and be ashamed in spite of all their strength.
17 They will lick dust like snakes,
18 Who is a God like you?
19 You will again have compassion on us.
20 You will be faithful to Jacob.
