'Us' in the Bible

(Kaf) For the Lord will not reject us forever.

Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.

(Nun) Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the Lord.

Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven:

(Samek) You shrouded yourself with anger and then pursued us; you killed without mercy.

You make us like filthy scum in the estimation of the nations.

(Pe) All our enemies have gloated over us;

Panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction.

(Samek) People cry to them, "Turn away! You are unclean! Turn away! Turn away! Don't touch us!" So they have fled and wander about; but the nations say, "They may not stay here any longer."

(Ayin) Our eyes continually failed us as we looked in vain for help. From our watchtowers we watched for a nation that could not rescue us.

(Tsade) Our enemies hunted us down at every step so that we could not walk about in our streets. Our end drew near, our days were numbered, for our end had come!

(Qof) Those who pursued us were swifter than eagles in the sky. They chased us over the mountains; they ambushed us in the wilderness.

O Lord, reflect on what has happened to us; consider and look at our disgrace.

Slaves rule over us; there is no one to rescue us from their power.

The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!

Why do you keep on forgetting us? Why do you forsake us so long?

Bring us back to yourself, O Lord, so that we may return to you; renew our life as in days before,

unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
