- Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us. Consider and look kindly upon our disgrace
- Our inheritance has been turned over to foreigners; our houses to outsiders
- We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows
- We paid for our drinking water. We acquired our wood for a price
- We were dragged by our necks. Being weary, no rest was given to us
- We have given our hand to Egypt and to the Assyrians, so that we may be satisfied with bread
- Our fathers have sinned, and are not. And we have carried their iniquities
- Servants have become rulers over us. There was no one to redeem us from their hand
- We obtained our bread at the risk of our lives, before the face of the sword, in the wilderness
- Our skin was burned, as if by an oven, before the face of the tempest of the famine
- They humiliated the women in Zion and the virgins in the cities of Judah
- The leaders were suspended by their hand. They were not ashamed before the faces of the elders
- They have sexually abused the adolescents, and the children were corrupted in the wood
- The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms
- The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning
- The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned
- Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened
- because of mount Zion, because it was ruined. Foxes have wandered upon it
- But you, O Lord, shall remain for eternity, your throne from generation to generation
- Why would you forget us forever? Why would you forsake us for a long time
- Convert us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be converted. Renew our days, as from the beginning
- But you have utterly rejected us; you are vehemently angry against us
