1 Remember, Yahweh, what has happened to us; look and see our disgrace.
·
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers; our houses to foreigners.
·
3 We have become orphans, the fatherless, and our mothers are like widows.
·
4 We must pay silver for the water we drink, and we must pay silver to get our own wood.
·
5 Those who are coming after us are close behind us; we are weary and we can find no rest.
·
6 We have given ourselves to Egypt and to Assyria to get enough food.
·
7 Our fathers sinned, and they are no more, and we bear their iniquities.
·
8 Slaves rule over us, and there is no one to deliver us from their hand.
·
9 We get our bread only by risking our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
·
10 Our skin has grown as hot as an oven because of the burning heat of hunger.
·
11 Women are raped in Zion, and virgins in the cities of Judah.
·
12 Princes are hung up by their own hands, and no honor is shown to the elders.
·
13 Young men are forced to grind grain with a millstone, and boys stagger under heavy loads of wood.
·
14 The elders have left the city gate, and the young men have left their music.
·
15 The joy of our heart has ceased and our dancing has turned into mourning.
·
16 The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!
·
17 For this our heart has become sick, for these things our eyes grow dim
·
18 for Mount Zion lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it.
·
19 But you, Yahweh, reign forever, and you will sit upon your throne from generation to generation.
·
20 Why do you forget us forever? Why do you forsake us for so many days?
·
21 Restore us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be restored. Renew our days as they were long ago—
·
22 unless you have utterly rejected us and you are angry with us beyond measure.
