1 | Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. | our reproach |
2 | Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. | |
3 | We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. | |
4 | We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. | |
5 | Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. | |
6 | We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. | |
7 | Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. | |
8 | Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. | |
9 | We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. | |
10 | Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. | |
11 | They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. | |
12 | Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. | |
13 | They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. | |
14 | The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. | |
15 | The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. | |
16 | The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! | The crown is fallen |
17 | For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. | |
18 | Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. | |
19 | Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. | remainest for ever |
20 | Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? | |
21 | Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. | |
22 |
But thou hast utterly rejected
us; thou art very wroth against us.
