My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

My people hath been lost sheep - (, "All we like sheep have gone astray").

They have turned them away on the mountains - whereon they sacrificed to idols (; ; ).

They have forgotten their resting-place - the resting-place for the "sheep;" continuing the image, Yahweh Jesus is the resting-place of His sheep (). They rest in His "bosom," wherein He "carries" them (). Also His temple at Zion is their "rest," because it is His (; ).
