5. They pursue at our heels;We labor and have no rest.
6. We have given our hand to the EgyptiansAnd the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7. Our fathers sinned and are no more,But we bear their iniquities.
8. Servants rule over us;There is none to deliver us from their hand.
9. We get our bread at the risk of our lives,Because of the sword in the wilderness.
