1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. |
2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. |
3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. |
4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. |
5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. |
6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. |
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. |
