[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.

[1] Μνήσθητι, G3415 κύριε, G2962 ὅ G3739 τι G5100 ἐγενήθη G1096 ἡμῖν· G2254 ἐπίβλεψον G1914 καὶ G2532 ἰδὲ G1492 τὸν G3588 ὀνειδισμὸν G3680 ἡμῶν. G2257 [2] Κληρονομία G2817 ἡμῶν G2257 μετεστράφη G3344 ἀλλοτρίοις, G245 οἱ G3588 οἶκοι G3624 ἡμῶν G2257 ξένοις. G3581 [3] Ὀρφανοὶ G3737 ἐγενήθημεν, G1096 οὐχ G3756 ὑπάρχει G5225 πατήρ· G3962 μητέρες G3384 ἡμῶν G2257 ὡς G5613 αἱ G3588 χῆραι. G5503 [4] Ἐξ G1537 ἡμερῶν G2250 ἡμῶν G2257 ξύλα G3586 ἡμῶν G2257 ἐν G1722 ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν. G2064 [5] Ἐπὶ G1909 τὸν G3588 τράχηλον G5137 ἡμῶν G2257 ἐδιώχθημεν· G1377 ἐκοπιάσαμεν, G2872 οὐκ G3756 ἀνεπαύθημεν. G373 [6] Αἴγυπτος G125 ἔδωκεν G1325 χεῖρα, G5495 Ασσουρ εἰς G1519 πλησμονὴν G4140 αὐτῶν. G846 [7] Οἱ G3588 πατέρες G3962 ἡμῶν G2257 ἥμαρτον, G264 οὐχ G3756 ὑπάρχουσιν· G5225 ἡμεῖς G2249 τὰ G3588 ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν G846 ὑπέσχομεν. G5254 [8] Δοῦλοι G1401 ἐκυρίευσαν G2961 ἡμῶν, G2257 λυτρούμενος G3084 οὐκ G3756 ἔστιν G2076 ἐκ G1537 τῆς G3588 χειρὸς G5495 αὐτῶν. G846 [9] Ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ψυχαῖς G5590 ἡμῶν G2257 εἰσοίσομεν G1533 ἄρτον G740 ἡμῶν G2257 ἀπὸ G575 προσώπου G4383 ῥομφαίας G4501 τῆς G3588 ἐρήμου. G2048 [10] Τὸ G3588 δέρμα G1192 ἡμῶν G2257 ὡς G5613 κλίβανος G2823 ἐπελειώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ G575 προσώπου G4383 καταιγίδων λιμοῦ. G3042 [11] Γυναῖκας G1135 ἐν G1722 Σιων G4622 ἐταπείνωσαν, G5013 παρθένους G3933 ἐν G1722 πόλεσιν G4172 Ιουδα. [12] Ἄρχοντες G758 ἐν G1722 χερσὶν G5495 αὐτῶν G846 ἐκρεμάσθησαν, G2910 πρεσβύτεροι G4245 οὐκ G3756 ἐδοξάσθησαν. G1392 [13] Ἐκλεκτοὶ G1588 κλαυθμὸν G2805 ἀνέλαβον, G353 καὶ G2532 νεανίσκοι G3495 ἐν G1722 ξύλῳ G3586 ἠσθένησαν. G770 [14] Καὶ G2532 πρεσβῦται G4246 ἀπὸ G575 πύλης G4439 κατέπαυσαν, G2664 ἐκλεκτοὶ G1588 ἐκ G1537 ψαλμῶν G5568 αὐτῶν G846 κατέπαυσαν. G2664 [15] Κατέλυσεν G2647 χαρὰ G5479 καρδίας G2588 ἡμῶν, G2257 ἐστράφη G4762 εἰς G1519 πένθος G3997 ὁ G3588 χορὸς G5525 ἡμῶν. G2257 [16] Ἔπεσεν G4098 ὁ G3588 στέφανος G4735 τῆς G3588 κεφαλῆς G2776 ἡμῶν· G2257 οὐαὶ G3759 δὴ G1211 ἡμῖν, G2254 ὅτι G3754 ἡμάρτομεν. G264 [17] Περὶ G4012 τούτου G5127 ἐγενήθη G1096 ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ G3588 καρδία G2588 ἡμῶν, G2257 περὶ G4012 τούτου G5127 ἐσκότασαν οἱ G3588 ὀφθαλμοὶ G3788 ἡμῶν· G2257 [18] ἐπ’ G1909 ὄρος G3735 Σιων, G4622 ὅτι G3754 ἠφανίσθη, G853 ἀλώπεκες G258 διῆλθον G1330 ἐν G1722 αὐτῇ. G846 [19] Σὺ G4771 δέ, G1161 κύριε, G2962 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 αἰῶνα G165 κατοικήσεις, G2730 ὁ G3588 θρόνος G2362 σου G4675 εἰς G1519 γενεὰν G1074 καὶ G2532 γενεάν. G1074 [20] Ἵνα G2443 τί G5101 εἰς G1519 νεῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ G1950 ἡμῶν, G2257 καταλείψεις G2641 ἡμᾶς G2248 εἰς G1519 μακρότητα ἡμερῶν; G2250 [21] Ἐπίστρεψον G1994 ἡμᾶς, G2248 κύριε, G2962 πρὸς G4314 σέ, G4571 καὶ G2532 ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· G1994 καὶ G2532 ἀνακαίνισον G340 ἡμέρας G2250 ἡμῶν G2257 καθὼς G2531 ἔμπροσθεν. G1715 [22] Ὅτι G3754 ἀπωθούμενος G683 ἀπώσω G683 ἡμᾶς, G2248 ὠργίσθης G3710 ἐφ’ G1909 ἡμᾶς G2248 ἕως G2193 σφόδρα. G4970
