1 Remember{H2142}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, what is come upon us: consider{H5027}{(H8685)}, and behold{H7200}{(H8798)} our reproach{H2781}.
2 Our inheritance{H5159} is turned{H2015}{(H8738)} to strangers{H2114}{(H8801)}, our houses{H1004} to aliens{H5237}.
3 We are orphans{H3490} and fatherless{H369}{H1}, our mothers{H517} are as widows{H490}.
4 We have drunken{H8354}{(H8804)} our water{H4325} for money{H3701}; our wood{H6086} is sold{H935}{(H8799)}{H4242} unto us.
5 Our necks{H6677} are under persecution{H7291}{(H8738)}: we labour{H3021}{(H8804)}, and have no rest{H5117}{(H8717)}.
6 We have given{H5414}{(H8804)} the hand{H3027} to the Egyptians{H4714}, and to the Assyrians{H804}, to be satisfied{H7646}{(H8800)} with bread{H3899}.
7 Our fathers{H1} have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, and are not{H369}; and we have borne{H5445}{(H8804)} their iniquities{H5771}.
8 Servants{H5650} have ruled{H4910}{(H8804)} over us: there is none that doth deliver{H6561}{(H8802)} us out of their hand{H3027}.
9 We gat{H935}{(H8686)} our bread{H3899} with the peril of our lives{H5315} because{H6440} of the sword{H2719} of the wilderness{H4057}.
10 Our skin{H5785} was black{H3648}{(H8738)} like an oven{H8574} because{H6440} of the terrible{H2152} famine{H7458}.
11 They ravished{H6031}{(H8765)} the women{H802} in Zion{H6726}, and the maids{H1330} in the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}.
12 Princes{H8269} are hanged up{H8518}{(H8738)} by their hand{H3027}: the faces{H6440} of elders{H2205} were not honoured{H1921}{(H8738)}.
13 They took{H5375}{(H8804)} the young men{H970} to grind{H2911}, and the children{H5288} fell{H3782}{(H8804)} under the wood{H6086}.
14 The elders{H2205} have ceased{H7673}{(H8804)} from the gate{H8179}, the young men{H970} from their musick{H5058}.
15 The joy{H4885} of our heart{H3820} is ceased{H7673}{(H8804)}; our dance{H4234} is turned{H2015}{(H8738)} into mourning{H60}.
16 The crown{H5850} is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} from our head{H7218}: woe{H188} unto us, that we have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}!
17 For this our heart{H3820} is faint{H1739}; for these things our eyes{H5869} are dim{H2821}{(H8804)}.
18 Because of the mountain{H2022} of Zion{H6726}, which is desolate{H8074}{(H8804)}, the foxes{H7776} walk{H1980}{(H8765)} upon it.
19 Thou, O LORD{H3068}, remainest{H3427}{(H8799)} for ever{H5769}; thy throne{H3678} from generation{H1755} to generation{H1755}.
20 Wherefore dost thou forget{H7911}{(H8799)} us for ever{H5331}, and forsake{H5800}{(H8799)} us so long{H753} time{H3117}?
21 Turn{H7725}{(H8685)} thou us unto thee, O LORD{H3068}, and we shall be turned{H7725}{(H8799)}; renew{H2318}{(H8761)} our days{H3117} as of old{H6924}.
22 But thou hast utterly{H3988}{(H8800)} rejected{H3988}{(H8804)} us; thou art very{H3966} wroth{H7107}{(H8804)} against us.
