- 1. Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.
- 2. Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
- 3. Orphans we have been -- without a father, our mothers `are' as widows.
- 4. Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.
- 5. For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured -- there hath been no rest for us.
- 6. `To' Egypt we have given a hand, `To' Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
- 7. Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities have borne.
- 8. Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.
- 9. With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
- 10. Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.
- 11. Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins -- in cities of Judah.
- 12. Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.
- 13. Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.
- 14. The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.
- 15. Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.
- 16. Fallen hath the crown `from' our head, Wo `is' now to us, for we have sinned.
- 17. For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.
- 18. For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.
- 19. Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.
- 20. Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!
- 21. Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
- 22. For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly?
