Remember, O lord, what happened to us! Look upon and behold our scorn!
Our inheritance was converted over to aliens; our houses to strangers.
orphans there does not exist a father; our mothers widows.
Unto our neck we were pursued; we tired; we were not rested.
Egypt gave a hand; Assyria for their plenty.
Our fathers sinned, and they do not exist; we their violations of the law
Servants lorded over us; one ransoming from out of their hand.
With our lives we will carry in our bread from in front of the wilderness.
Our skin as they were made to shrivel from of blasts of famine.
Rulers by elders were not extolled;
chosen men weeping and young men in
And old men from chosen men from
fell and woe to us for we sinned.
On account of this became on account of this, darkened
Upon mount Zion, for it was obliterated, foxes went through in it.
But you, O lord, into your throne generation and generation.
Why for victory shall you forget us? Will you forsake us unto of days?
Turn us to you! O lord, and we shall be turned; and renew our days as before!
For in thrusting away, you thrusted us away; you were provoked to anger against us, unto exceedingly.
