Remember O Yahweh what? has it happened to us (look! *Q(K)*) and see reproach our.

At neck our we have been pursued we have become weary (and not *Q(K)*) it has been given rest to us.
6 Sinike isandla sethu kwabeGibhithe, labeAsiriya, ukuze sisuthiswe ngesinkwa.

Women in Zion men have humiliated virgins in [the] cities of Judah.
12 Iziphathamandla zaphanyekwa ngesandla sazo; ubuso babadala kabuhlonitshwanga.
Princes by hand their they have been hanged [the] face of elders not they have been honored.
13 Amajaha athwala amatshe okuchola, labafana bakhubeka ngaphansi kwenkuni.
Young men a mill they have lifted and young men with wood they have staggered.
14 Abadala baphelile esangweni, amajaha ekuhlabeleleni.
Old [men] from [the] gate they have ceased young men from music their.
15 Intokozo yenhliziyo yethu iphelile, ukugida kwethu kwaphenduka ukulila.
It has ceased [the] joy of heart our it has been changed into mourning dancing our.
16 Umqhele wekhanda lethu uwile; hawu, maye kithi, ngoba sonile!
It has fallen [the] crown of head our woe! please to us for we have sinned.
17 Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo yethu iphela amandla; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu afiphele.
On this it has become faint heart our on these [things] they have grown dim eyes our.
18 Ngenxa yentaba yeZiyoni elunxiwa, amakhanka ahamba phezu kwayo.
On [the] mountain of Zion that [is] desolate foxes they have prowled on it.
19 Wena, Nkosi, uhlezi kuze kube nininini, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sisuka esizukulwaneni sisiya esizukulwaneni.
You O Yahweh for ever you will sit throne your [is] to a generation and a generation.
20 Usikhohlweleni njalonjalo, usidela okobude bezinsuku?
Why? to perpetuity do you forget us do you abandon? us for length of days.
21 Siphendulele kuwe, Nkosi, sizaphenduka; yenza insuku zethu zibe zintsha njengasendulo.
Cause to return us O Yahweh - to yourself (so let us return *Q(K)*) renew days our like ancient time.
22 Kodwa ususilahlile isibili; usithukuthelele kakhulukazi.
That except certainly you have rejected us you are angry towards us up to muchness.
