1 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, 3 We are orphans and fatherless; 4 We have drunken our water for money; 5 Our pursuers are on our necks: 6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, 7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; 8 Servants rule over us: 9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, 10 Our skin is black like an oven, 11 They ravished the women in Zion, 12 Princes were hanged up by their hand: 13 The young men bare the mill; 14 The elders have ceased from the gate, 15 The joy of our heart is ceased; 16 The crown is fallen from our head: 17 For this our heart is faint; 18 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: 19 You, Yahweh, remain forever; 20 Why do you forget us forever, 21 Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we shall be turned. 22 But you have utterly rejected us;
