Psalms 123:3-4

3 ^aHave mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of ^bcontempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
of ^cthe scorn of ^dthose who are at ease,
of the contempt of ^ethe proud.

Lamentations 2:15-16

15 All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
^fthey hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
^gthe perfection of beauty,
^hthe joy of all the earth?”
16 ⁱAll your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We ^jhave swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; ^kwe see it!”
