[1] Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us.
Look, and see our reproach.
[2] Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to aliens.
[3] We are orphans and fatherless.
Our mothers are as widows.
[4] We must pay for water to drink.
Our wood is sold to us.
[5] Our pursuers are on our necks.
We are weary, and have no rest.
[6] We have given our hands to the Egyptians,
and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
[7] Our fathers sinned, and are no more.
We have borne their iniquities.
[8] Servants rule over us.
There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
[9] We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
because of the sword in the wilderness.
[10] Our skin is black like an oven,
because of the burning heat of famine.
[11] They ravished the women in Zion,
the virgins in the cities of Judah.
[12] Princes were hanged up by their hands.
The faces of elders were not honored.
[13] The young men carry millstones.
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
[14] The elders have ceased from the gate,
and the young men from their music.
[15] The joy of our heart has ceased.
Our dance is turned into mourning.
[16] The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
[17] For this our heart is faint.
For these things our eyes are dim:
[18] for the mountain of Zion, which is desolate.
The foxes walk on it. [19] You, Yahweh, remain forever.
Your throne is from generation to generation.
[20] Why do you forget us forever,
and forsake us for so long a time?
[21] Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned.
Renew our days as of old.
[22] But you have utterly rejected us.
You are very angry against us.
Look, and see our reproach.
