## Text

[1] Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us.
Look and see our disgrace! [2] Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to foreigners. [3] We have become fatherless orphans;
our mothers are widows. [4] We must buy the water we drink;
our wood comes at a price. [5] We are closely pursued;
we are weary and find no rest. [6] We submitted to Egypt and Assyria
to get enough bread. [7] Our fathers sinned and are no more,
but we bear their punishment. [8] Slaves rule over us;
there is no one to deliver us from their hands. [9] We get our bread at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the wilderness. [10] Our skin is as hot as an oven
with fever from our hunger. [11] Women have been ravished in Zion,
virgins in the cities of Judah. [12] Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders receive no respect. [13] Young men toil at millstones;
boys stagger under loads of wood. [14] The elders have left the city gate;
the young men have stopped their music. [15] Joy has left our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning. [16] The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned! [17] Because of this, our hearts are faint;
because of these, our eyes grow dim— [18] because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate,
patrolled by foxes. [19] You, O LORD, reign forever;
Your throne endures from generation to generation. [20] Why have You forgotten us forever?
Why have You forsaken us for so long? [21] Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return;
renew our days as of old, [22] unless You have utterly rejected us
and remain angry with us beyond measure.
