1 Our Lord, don't forgethow we have sufferedand been disgraced.
2 Foreigners and strangershave taken our landand our homes.
3 We are like childrenwhose mothers are widows.
4 The water we drinkand the wood we burncost far too much.
5 We are terribly mistreated;we are worn outand can find no rest.
6 We had to surrenderto Egypt and Assyriabecause we were hungry.
7 Our ancestors sinned,but they are dead,and we are left to payfor their sins.
