1. Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.
2. Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
3. Orphans we have been--without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.
4. Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.
5. For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured--there hath been no rest for us.
6. [To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
7. Our fathers have sinned--they are not, We their iniquities have borne.
