| זְכֹר יְהוָה מֶֽה־הָיָה לָנוּ הביט הַבִּיטָה וּרְאֵה אֶת־חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃ | 1 |
Remember, O Lord, what is come vpon vs: consider, and behold our reproche.
| נַחֲלָתֵנוּ נֶֽהֶפְכָה לְזָרִים בָּתֵּינוּ לְנָכְרִֽים׃ | 2 |
Our inheritance is turned to the strangers, our houses to the aliants.
| יְתוֹמִים הָיִינוּ אין וְאֵין אָב אִמֹּתֵינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֽוֹת׃ | 3 |
We are fatherles, euen without father, and our mothers are as widowes.
| מֵימֵינוּ בְּכֶסֶף שָׁתִינוּ עֵצֵינוּ בִּמְחִיר יָבֹֽאוּ׃ | 4 |
Wee haue drunke our water for money, and our wood is solde vnto vs.
| עַל צַוָּארֵנוּ נִרְדָּפְנוּ יָגַעְנוּ לא וְלֹא הֽוּנַח לָֽנוּ׃ | 5 |
Our neckes are vnder persecution: we are wearie, and haue no rest.
| מִצְרַיִם נָתַנּוּ יָד אַשּׁוּר לִשְׂבֹּעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃ | 6 |
We haue giuen our handes to the Egyptians, and to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
| אֲבֹתֵינוּ חָֽטְאוּ אינם וְאֵינָם אנחנו וַאֲנַחְנוּ עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶם סָבָֽלְנוּ׃ | 7 |
Our fathers haue sinned, and are not, and we haue borne their iniquities.
| עֲבָדִים מָשְׁלוּ בָנוּ פֹּרֵק אֵין מִיָּדָֽם׃ | 8 |
Seruants haue ruled ouer vs, none would deliuer vs out of their hands.
| בְּנַפְשֵׁנוּ נָבִיא לַחְמֵנוּ מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 9 |
Wee gate our bread with the perill of our liues, because of the sword of the wildernesse.
| עוֹרֵנוּ כְּתַנּוּר נִכְמָרוּ מִפְּנֵי זַלְעֲפוֹת רָעָֽב׃ | 10 |
Our skinne was blacke like as an ouen because of the terrible famine.
| נָשִׁים בְּצִיּוֹן עִנּוּ בְּתֻלֹת בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃ | 11 |
They defiled the women in Zion, and the maydes in the cities of Iudah.
| שָׂרִים בְּיָדָם נִתְלוּ פְּנֵי זְקֵנִים לֹא נֶהְדָּֽרוּ׃ | 12 |
The princes are hanged vp by their hande: the faces of the elders were not had in honour.
| בַּחוּרִים טְחוֹן נָשָׂאוּ וּנְעָרִים בָּעֵץ כָּשָֽׁלוּ׃ | 13 |
They tooke the yong men to grinde, and the children fell vnder the wood.
| זְקֵנִים מִשַּׁעַר שָׁבָתוּ בַּחוּרִים מִנְּגִינָתָֽם׃ | 14 |
The Elders haue ceased from the gate and the yong men from their songs.
| שָׁבַת מְשׂוֹשׂ לִבֵּנוּ נֶהְפַּךְ לְאֵבֶל מְחֹלֵֽנוּ׃ | 15 |
The ioy of our heart is gone, our daunce is turned into mourning.
| נָֽפְלָה עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשֵׁנוּ אֽוֹי־נָא לָנוּ כִּי חָטָֽאנוּ׃ | 16 |
The crowne of our head is fallen: wo nowe vnto vs, that we haue sinned.
| עַל־זֶה הָיָה דָוֶה לִבֵּנוּ עַל־אֵלֶּה חָשְׁכוּ עֵינֵֽינוּ׃ | 17 |
Therefore our heart is heauy for these things, our eyes are dimme,
| עַל הַר־צִיּוֹן שֶׁשָּׁמֵם שׁוּעָלִים הִלְּכוּ־בֽוֹ׃ | 18 |
Because of the mountaine of Zion which is desolate: the foxes runne vpon it.
| אַתָּה יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁב כִּסְאֲךָ לְדֹר וָדֽוֹר׃ | 19 |
But thou, O Lord, remainest for euer: thy throne is from generation to generation.
| לָמָּה לָנֶצַח תִּשְׁכָּחֵנוּ תַּֽעַזְבֵנוּ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִֽים׃ | 20 |
Wherefore doest thou forget vs for euer, and forsake vs so long time?
| הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ יְהוָה ׀ אֵלֶיךָ ונשוב וְֽנָשׁוּבָה חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם׃ | 21 |
Turne thou vs vnto thee, O Lord, and we shalbe turned: renue our dayes as of olde.

But thou hast vtterly reiected vs: thou art exceedingly angry against vs.
