Return{H7725}{(H8798)} for thy servants{H5650}' sake, the tribes{H7626} of thine inheritance{H5159}. 18 The people{H5971} of thy holiness{H6944} have possessed{H3423}{(H8804)} it but a little while{H4705}: our adversaries{H6862} have trodden down{H947}{(H8790)} thy sanctuary{H4720}. 19 We are thine: thou never{H5769} barest rule{H4910}{(H8804)} over them; they were not called{H7121}{(H8738)} by thy name{H8034}.
