1 Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;look, and see our disgrace!
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;our mothers are like widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;the wood we get must be bought.
5 Our pursuers are at our necks;we are weary; we are given no rest.
6 We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria,to get bread enough.
