KJV ORIGINAL
O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
God, you're always fair and just, so I'm asking you — please turn your anger away from Jerusalem, your holy city on the mountain. Because of our mistakes and all the wrong things our parents did before us, Jerusalem and your people have become a joke to everyone around us.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes we inherit mess from the past, but we can still ask God to turn things around.
