18 For a little while your people possessed your holy place,

but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary.

18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while:

Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

18 How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place,

and now our enemies have destroyed it.

18 Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;

Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.

18 Your people had your Temple for a while,

but now our enemies have walked on your holy place and crushed it.

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

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

18 Your holy people possessed the land for a little while. 

Our enemies have trampled on your holy place. 

18 Your holy people had a possession

for a little while,

but our enemies have trampled down

Your sanctuary.

18 Your holy people took possession for a little while;

but now our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.

18 Your holy people took possession for a little while;

our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.

18 For a little while your holy people possessed the land.

But now our enemies have torn your temple down.

18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while,

Our adversaries have trodden it down.
