^{1 Ref} Remember, O Jehovah, what is come upon us: Behold, and see our reproach.

^{2 Ref} Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, Our houses unto aliens.

^{3 Ref} We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.

^{4 Ref} We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold unto us.

^{5 Ref} Our pursuers are upon our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.

^{6 Ref} We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

^{7 Ref} Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.

^{8 Ref} Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.

^{9 Ref} We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

^{10 Ref} Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.

^{11 Ref} They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.

^{12 Ref} Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored.

^{13 Ref} The young men bare the mill; And the children stumbled under the wood.

^{14 Ref} The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.

^{15 Ref} The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.

^{16 Ref} The crown is fallen from our head: Woe unto us! for we have sinned.

^{17 Ref} For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

^{18 Ref} For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk upon it.

^{19 Ref} Thou, O Jehovah, abidest for ever; Thy throne is from generation to generation.

^{20 Ref} Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, `And' forsake us so long time?

^{21 Ref} Turn thou us unto thee, O Jehovah, and we shall be turned; Renew our days as of old.

^{22 Ref} But thou hast utterly rejected us; Thou art very wroth against us.

^{1 Ref} Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.

^{2 Ref} Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.

^{3 Ref} Orphans we have been -- without a father, our mothers `are' as widows.

^{4 Ref} Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.

^{6 Ref} `To' Egypt we have given a hand, `To' Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.

^{7 Ref} Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities have borne.

^{8 Ref} Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.

^{9 Ref} With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

^{10 Ref} Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.

^{11 Ref} Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins -- in cities of Judah.

^{12 Ref} Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.

^{13 Ref} Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.

^{14 Ref} The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.

^{15 Ref} Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.

^{16 Ref} Fallen hath the crown `from' our head, Wo `is' now to us, for we have sinned.

^{17 Ref} For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.

^{18 Ref} For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.

^{19 Ref} Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.

^{20 Ref} Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!

^{21 Ref} Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.

^{22 Ref} For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly?

^{1 Ref} Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach.

^{2 Ref} Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens.

^{3 Ref} We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.

^{17 Ref} For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

^{18 Ref} For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk on it.

^{19 Ref} You, Yahweh, abide forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.

^{20 Ref} Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time?

^{21 Ref} Turn you us to you, Yahweh, and we shall be turned; Renew our days as of old.

^{22 Ref} But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.
