1. Our Lord, don't forgethow we have sufferedand been disgraced.
2. Foreigners and strangershave taken our landand our homes.
3. We are like childrenwhose mothers are widows.
4. The water we drinkand the wood we burncost far too much.
5. We are terribly ill-treated;we are worn outand can find no rest.
6. We had to surrenderto Egypt and Assyriabecause we were hungry.
