1 |Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Take a look at our disgrace! 2 |The land we inherited has been turned over to strangers. Our homes have been turned over to foreigners. 3 We are orphans without a father. Our mothers are like widows. 4 We have to pay to drink our own water. We have to pay to chop our own wood. 5 [Our enemies] are breathing down our necks. We are worn out [and] not permitted to rest. 6 We had to beg Egypt and Assyria for food.
