Original text and translations
English text
- Blow up the trumpet in Sion;
- sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the people and sanctify the congregation.
- Assemble the elders, gather the children and those that suck the breasts.
- Let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
- Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar,
- and let them say: spare thy people, O Lord.
- And give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them.
- Spare thy people, O Lord.
- Wherefore should they say among the people: where is their God?
