1. Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us; look, and behold our reproach.
2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3. We are orphans without father; our mothers are as widows.
4. We have drunk our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5. Our necks are under persecution; we are become tired and have no rest.
6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians to be satisfied with bread.
7. Our fathers have sinned and are dead; and we have borne their chastisements.
8. Slaves have ruled over us: there was no one to deliver us out of their hand.
