La prestene, Herrens tjenere, gråte mellom forhallen og alteret, og la dem si: Hør din frelse, o Herre, gi ikke din arv opp til skam, så folkene blir deres herskere; hvorfor la dem si blant folkene: Hvor er deres Gud?
Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
