13 The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood.
13 Llevaron los mozos á moler, y los muchachos desfallecieron en la leña.
14 The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end.
14 Los ancianos cesaron de la puerta, los mancebos de sus canciones.
15 The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow.
15 Cesó el gozo de nuestro corazón; nuestro corro se tornó en luto.

16 Cayó la corona de nuestra cabeza: ¡ay ahora de nosotros! porque pecamos.
17 Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark;
17 Por esto fué entristecido nuestro corazón, por esto se entenebrecieron nuestros ojos:
18 Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.
18 Por el monte de Sión que está asolado; zorras andan en él.
19 You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.
19 Mas tú, Jehová, permanecerás para siempre: tu trono de generación en generación.
20 Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long?
20 ¿Por qué te olvidarás para siempre de nosotros, y nos dejarás por largos días?
21 Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past.
21 Vuélvenos, oh Jehová, á ti, y nos volveremos: renueva nuestros días como al principio.
22 But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us.
22 Porque repeliendo nos has desechado; te has airado contra nosotros en gran manera.
