[1]Remember, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, what is come upon us; behold, and see our reproach.
[2]Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.
[3]We are become orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
[4]We have drunk our water for money; our wood cometh to us for price.
[5]To our very necks we are pursued; we labour, and have no rest.
[6]We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to have bread enough;
[7]Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
[8]Servants rule over us; there is none to deliver us out of their hand.
[9]We get our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
[10]Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.
[11]They have ravished the women in Zion, the maidens in the cities of Judah.
[12]Princes are hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders are not honoured.
[13]The young men have borne the mill, and the children have stumbled under the wood.
[14]The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
[15]The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
[16]The crown is fallen from our head; woe unto us! for we have sinned.
[17]For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dim;
[18]For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
[19]Thou, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, art enthroned for ever, Thy throne is from generation to generation.
[20]Wherefore dost Thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
[21]Turn Thou us unto Thee, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
[22]Thou canst not have utterly rejected us, and be exceeding wroth against us!
