1. |
Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
|
|
2. |
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
|
|
3. |
We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
|
|
4. |
We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
|
|
5. |
Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
|
|
6. |
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
|
|
7. |
Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
|
|
8. |
Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
|
|
9. |
We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
|
|
10. |
Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
|
|
11. |
They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
|
|
12. |
Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
|
|
13. |
They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
|
|
14. |
The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
|
|
15. |
The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
|
|
16. |
The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
|
|
17. |
For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
|
|
18. |
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
|
|
19. |
Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
|
|
20. |
Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
|
|
21. |
Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
|
|
22. |
But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
