Chapter 5

1


 

  Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Orphans we have been -- without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.  

 

 

-

5


 

  For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured -- there hath been no rest for us.  

 

 

-

6


 

  [To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities have borne.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.  

 

 

-

9


 

  With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins -- in cities of Judah.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Wo [is] now to us, for we have sinned.  

 

 

-

17


 

  For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.  

 

 

-

18


 

  For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!  

 

 

-

21


 

  Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.  

 

 

-

22


 

  For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly?
