1. Remember, O יהוה, what has come upon us. Look, and see our reproach!
2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, And our houses to foreigners.
3. We have become orphans, fatherless, Our mothers are like widows.
4. We had to pay for our drinking water, And our wood comes at a price.
5. We have been pursued close onto our neck, We have laboured and had no rest.
