## O Yahweh, Remember Us!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Remember, O Yahweh, what has happened to us; Look, and see our reproach!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
We have become orphans without a father; Our mothers are like widows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
We drink our water by means of silver; Our wood comes _to us_ at a price.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out; there is no rest for us.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
We have given over _our_ hands to Egypt _and_ Assyria to get enough bread.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Our fathers sinned; they are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Slaves rule over us; There is no one to tear us away from their hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Our skin has become as hot as an oven Because of the burning heat of famine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
They violated the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Princes were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Young men lifted up _the stone_ at the grinding mill, And youths stumbled down under _loads_ of wood.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Elders have ceased from _being at_ the gate, Young men from their music.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes are dim;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes walk about in it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
You, O Yahweh, sit enthroned forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Cause us to return to You, O Yahweh, that we may be returned; Renew our days as of old,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Even if You have utterly rejected us _And_ are exceedingly angry with us.
|
