|
|
\v 1 Call to mind, Yahweh, what has happened to us.
|
|
\q Look and see our shame.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers;
|
|
\q our houses to foreigners.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 We have become orphans, for there are no more fathers,
|
|
\q and our mothers are like widows.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Our water costs silver to drink,
|
|
\q and our own wood is sold to us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Our enemies run after us; they are so close that they are breathing down our necks.
|
|
\q We are weary; there is no rest for us.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 We have reached out with our hands to the Egyptians
|
|
\q and the Assyrians to be filled with food.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Our fathers sinned; they are no more,
|
|
\q and we bear their sins.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Slaves rule over us,
|
|
\q and there is no one to rescue us out of their hand.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 We are risking our lives to get our bread
|
|
\q in the face of the sword of the wilderness.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Our skin is like an oven,
|
|
\q burned up from the fever of famine.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 They have violated the women in Zion,
|
|
\q the virgins in the cities of Judah.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 They hung princes by their own hands,
|
|
\q and they have not honored the elders.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 They have brought up the vigorous men to the grinding house,
|
|
\q and youthful men stagger beneath logs.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 They have removed the elders from the city gate
|
|
\q and the vigorous men from their music.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
|
|
\q our dances have changed into mourning.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 The crown has fallen from our head!
|
|
\q Woe to us, for we have sinned!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 Our hearts have become sick,
|
|
\q and our eyes have grown dim,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 because jackals wander on Mount Zion, which is deserted.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 But you are Yahweh; you reign forever,
|
|
\q and your throne is from generation to generation.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Why do you forget us forever?
|
|
\q Will you forsake us for so very long?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Turn us back to you, Yahweh, and we will repent.
|
|
\q Restore our days as in ancient times,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 unless we truly are rejected
|
|
\q and your anger toward us is too great!
|
|
