1. |
Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see 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 to us.
|
|
5. |
Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
|
|
6. |
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, 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 none to deliver us out of their hand.
|
|
9. |
We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of 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 hand: The faces of elders were not honored.
|
|
13. |
The young men bare the mill; The children stumbled under the wood.
|
|
14. |
The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.
|
|
15. |
The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.
|
|
16. |
The crown is 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, abide forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
|
|
20. |
Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time?
|
|
21. |
Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we shall be turned. Renew our days as of old.
|
|
22. |
But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.
