1Remember<2142>, O LORD<3068>, what<4100> has befallen<1961> us; Look<5027>, and see<7200> our reproach<2781>!
2Our inheritance<5159> has been turned<2015> over to strangers<2114>, Our houses<1004> to aliens<5237>.
3We have become<1961> orphans<3490> without<369> a father<1>, Our mothers<517> are like widows<490>.
4We have to pay<3701> for our drinking<8354> water<4325>, Our wood<6086> comes<935> to us at a price<4242>.
5Our pursuers<7291> are at our necks<6677>; We are worn<3021> out, there is no<3808> rest<5117> for us.
6We have submitted<5414><3027> to Egypt<4714> and Assyria<804> to get<7646> enough<7646> bread<3899>.
7Our fathers<1> sinned<2398>, and are no<369> more<369>; It is we who have borne<5445> their iniquities<5771>.
8Slaves<5650> rule<4910> over us; There<369> is no<369> one<369> to deliver<6561> us from their hand<3027>.
9We get<935> our bread<3899> at the risk of our lives<5315> Because<4480><6440> of the sword<2719> in the wilderness<4057>.
10Our skin<5785> has become<3648> as hot<3648> as an oven<8574>, Because<4480><6440> of the burning<2152> heat<2152> of famine<7458>.
11They ravished<6031> the women<802> in Zion<6726>, The virgins<1330> in the cities<5892> of Judah<3063>.
12Princes<8269> were hung<8518> by their hands<3027>; Elders<2205> were not respected<1921>.
13Young<970> men<970> worked<5375> at the grinding<2911> mill<2911>, And youths<5288> stumbled<3782> under loads of wood<6086>.
14Elders<2205> are gone<7673> from the gate<8179>, Young<970> men<970> from their music<5058>.
15The joy<4885> of our hearts<3820> has ceased<7673>; Our dancing<4234> has been turned<2015> into mourning<60>.
16The crown<5850> has fallen<5307> from our head<7218>; Woe<188> to us, for we have sinned<2398>!
17Because<5921> of this<2088> our heart<3820> is faint<1739>, Because<5921> of these<428> things<428> our eyes<5869> are dim<2821>;
18Because<5921> of Mount<2022> Zion<6726> which<7945> lies<8074> desolate<8074>, Foxes<7776> prowl<1980> in it.
19You, O LORD<3068>, rule<3427> forever<5769>; Your throne<3678> is from generation<1755> to generation<1755>.
20Why<4100> do You forget<7911> us forever<5331>? Why do You forsake<5800> us so<753><3117> long<753><3117>?
21Restore<7725> us to You, O LORD<3068>, that we may be restored<7725>; Renew<2318> our days<3117> as of old<6924>,
22Unless<3588><518> You have utterly<3988> rejected<3988> us And are exceedingly<5704><3966> angry<7107> with us.
