1 Yahweh, remember what has happened to us.Look, and see our disgrace!
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;our mothers are widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;our wood comes at a price.
5 We are closely pursued;we are tired, and no one offers us rest.
6 We made a treaty with Egyptand with Assyria, to get enough food.
7 Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist,but we bear their punishment.
