1 Remember, O Yahweh, what has happened to us; Look, and see our reproach!
2 Our houses to foreigners.
3 Our mothers are like widows.
4 Our wood comes to us at a price.
5 We are worn out; there is no rest for us.
7 It is we who have borne their iniquities.
8 There is no one to tear us away from their hand.
9 Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Because of the burning heat of famine.
11 The virgins in the cities of Judah.
12 Elders were not respected.
13 And youths stumbled down under loads of wood.
14 Young men from their music.
15 Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
16 Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of these things our eyes are dim;
18 Foxes walk about in it.
19 Your throne is from generation to generation.
20 Why do You forsake us so long?
21 Renew our days as of old,
22 And are exceedingly angry with us.
