Thy holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?

Ως πραγμα ελαχιστον κατεκυριευσαν τον αγιον σου λαον· οι εναντιοι ημων κατεπατησαν το αγιαστηριον σου.

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
