Restore your Temple, which has been destroyed; restore it so that everyone will know that you are God. 18 (B)Listen to us, O God; look at us and see the trouble we are in and the suffering of the city that bears your name.

In order that everyone will know that you are God, do not delay! This city and these people are yours.”
