Lamentations 5:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Remember, Lord, what has happened to us,pay attention, and see our disgrace:

2. Our heritage is turned over to strangers,our homes, to foreigners.

3. We have become orphans, without fathers;our mothers are like widows.

4. We pay money to drink our own water,our own wood comes at a price.

5. With a yoke on our necks, we are driven;we are worn out, but allowed no rest.
