1. Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;look, and see our disgrace.
2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.
3. We have become fatherless,our mothers are widows.
4. We must buy the water we drink;our wood can be had only at a price.
5. Those who pursue us are at our heels;we are weary and find no rest.
6. We submitted to Egypt and Assyriato get enough bread.
7. Our ancestors sinned and are no more,and we bear their punishment.
8. Slaves rule over us,and there is no one to free us from their hands.
