1 Remember, O Jehovah, what was to us: look and see our reproach. 2 Our inheritance was turned to strangers, our houses to foreigners. 3 We were orphans, no father; our mothers as widows. 4 We drank our water for silver; our wood will come for a price. 5 Upon our necks were we pursued: we labored and no rest to us. 6 We gave the hand to Egypt, to Assur, to be filled with bread.
