STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 זְכֹר יְהוָה מֶה־הָיָה לָנוּ [הַבֵּיט כ] (הַבִּיטָה ק) וּרְאֵה אֶת־חֶרְפָּתֵנוּ	1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
2 נַחֲלָתֵנוּ נֶהֶפְכָה לְזָרִים בָּתֵּינוּ לְנָכְרִים	2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3 יְתֹומִים הָיִינוּ [אֵין כ] (וְאֵין ק) אָב אִמֹּתֵינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֹות	3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4 מֵימֵינוּ בְּכֶסֶף שָׁתִינוּ עֵצֵינוּ בִּמְחִיר יָבֹאוּ	4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5 עַל צַוָּארֵנוּ נִרְדָּפְנוּ יָגַעְנוּ [לֹא כ] (וְלֹא ק) הוּנַח־לָנוּ	5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
6 מִצְרַיִם נָתַנּוּ יָד אַשּׁוּר לִשְׂבֹּעַ לָחֶם	6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 אֲבֹתֵינוּ חָטְאוּ [אֵינָם כ] (וְאֵינָם ק) [אֲנַחְנוּ כ] (וַאֲנַחְנוּ ק) עֲוֹנֹתֵיהֶם סָבָלְנוּ	7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8 עֲבָדִים מָשְׁלוּ בָנוּ פֹּרֵק אֵין מִיָּדָם	8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9 בְּנַפְשֵׁנוּ נָבִיא לַחְמֵנוּ מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַמִּדְבָּר	9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10 עֹורֵנוּ כְּתַנּוּר נִכְמָרוּ מִפְּנֵי זַלְעֲפֹות רָעָב	10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11 נָשִׁים בְּצִיֹּון עִנּוּ בְּתֻלֹת בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה	11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12 שָׂרִים בְּיָדָם נִתְלוּ פְּנֵי זְקֵנִים לֹא נֶהְדָּרוּ	12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13 בַּחוּרִים טְחֹון נָשָׂאוּ וּנְעָרִים בָּעֵץ כָּשָׁלוּ	13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14 זְקֵנִים מִשַּׁעַר שָׁבָתוּ בַּחוּרִים מִנְּגִינָתָם	14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
15 שָׁבַת מְשֹׂושׂ לִבֵּנוּ נֶהְפַּךְ לְאֵבֶל מְחֹלֵנוּ	15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16 נָפְלָה עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשֵׁנוּ אֹוי־נָא לָנוּ כִּי חָטָאנוּ	16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17 עַל־זֶה הָיָה דָוֶה לִבֵּנוּ עַל־אֵלֶּה חָשְׁכוּ עֵינֵינוּ	17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18 עַל הַר־צִיֹּון שֶׁשָּׁמֵם שׁוּעָלִים הִלְּכוּ־בֹו׃ פ	18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19 אַתָּה יְהוָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב כִּסְאֲךָ לְדֹר וָדֹור	19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20 לָמָּה לָנֶצַח תִּשְׁכָּחֵנוּ תַּעַזְבֵנוּ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים	20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21 הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ יְהוָה ׀ אֵלֶיךָ [וְנָשׁוּב כ] (וְנָשׁוּבָה ק) חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶדֶם	21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22 כִּי אִם־מָאֹס מְאַסְתָּנוּ קָצַפְתָּ עָלֵינוּ עַד־מְאֹד	22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
