1. Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us.Look at us, and see our disgrace.
2. Our property is in the hands of strangers;foreigners are living in our homes.
3. Our fathers have been killed by the enemy,and now our mothers are widows.
4. We must pay for the water we drink;we must buy the wood we need for fuel.
5. Driven hard like donkeys or camels,we are tired, but are allowed no rest.
6. To get food enough to stay alive,we went begging to Egypt and Assyria.
7. Our ancestors sinned, but now they are gone,and we are suffering for their sins.
