1Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us, look, and see our disgrace:2Our inherited lands have been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners.3We have become orphans, fatherless; widowed are our mothers.4The water we drink we must buy, for our own wood we must pay.5On our necks is the yoke of those who drive us; we are worn out, but allowed no rest.6To Egypt we submitted, and to Assyria, to fill our need of bread.7Our fathers, who sinned, are no more; but we bear their guilt.8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to rescue us from their hands.9At the peril of our lives we bring in our sustenance, in the face of the desert heat;10Our skin is shriveled up, as though by a furnace, with the searing blasts of famine.11The wives in Zion were ravished by the enemy, the maidens in the cities of Judah;12Princes were gibbeted by them, elders shown no respect.13The youths carry the millstones, boys stagger under their loads of wood;14The old men have abandoned the gate, the young men their music.15The joy of our hearts has ceased, our dance has turned into mourning;16The garlands have fallen from our heads: woe to us, for we have sinned!17Over this our hearts are sick, at this our eyes grow dim:18That Mount Zion should be desolate, with jackals roaming there!19You, O LORD, are enthroned forever; your throne stands from age to age.20Why, then, should you forget us, abandon us so long a time?21Lead us back to you, O LORD, that we may be restored: give us anew such days as we had of old.22For now you have indeed rejected us, and in full measure turned your wrath against us.22For now you have indeed rejected us, and in full measure turned your wrath against us.22For now you have indeed rejected us, and in full measure turned your wrath against us.
