1LORD, remember what has happened to us. Pay attention, and look at our shame!1זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָה֙ מֶֽה־ הָ֣יָה לָ֔נוּ [הביט] (הַבִּ֖יטָה) וּרְאֵ֥ה אֶת־ חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, and our homes to foreigners.2נַחֲלָתֵ֙נוּ֙ נֶֽהֶפְכָ֣ה לְזָרִ֔ים בָּתֵּ֖ינוּ לְנָכְרִֽים׃
3We are now orphans—without fathers— and our mothers are like widows.3יְתוֹמִ֤ים הָיִ֙ינוּ֙ [אין] (וְאֵ֣ין) אָ֔ב אִמֹּתֵ֖ינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֽוֹת׃
4We pay to drink our own water, and our own wood is sold to us at high price.4מֵימֵ֙ינוּ֙ בְּכֶ֣סֶף שָׁתִ֔ינוּ עֵצֵ֖ינוּ בִּמְחִ֥יר יָבֹֽאוּ׃
5Our pursuers breathe down our necks; we are weary, but there is no rest for us.5עַ֤ל צַוָּארֵ֙נוּ֙ נִרְדָּ֔פְנוּ יָגַ֖עְנוּ [לא] (וְלֹ֥א) הֽוּנַ֖ח‪‬ לָֽנוּ׃
6We made a deal with the Egyptians and the Assyrians for the price of food. 6מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ נָתַ֣נּוּ יָ֔ד אַשּׁ֖וּר לִשְׂבֹּ֥עַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
7Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist yet we continue to bear the consequences of their sin.7אֲבֹתֵ֤ינוּ חָֽטְאוּ֙ [אינם] (וְאֵינָ֔ם) [אנחנו] (וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ) עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶ֥ם סָבָֽלְנוּ׃
8Slaves rule over us, and no one delivers us from their control. 8עֲבָדִים֙ מָ֣שְׁלוּ בָ֔נוּ פֹּרֵ֖ק אֵ֥ין מִיָּדָֽם׃
9We risk our lives to obtain our food, facing death in the desert.9בְּנַפְשֵׁ֙נוּ֙ נָבִ֣יא לַחְמֵ֔נוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י חֶ֥רֶב הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
10Our skin blisters as from an oven, due to ravaging blasts of the famine.10עוֹרֵ֙נוּ֙ כְּתַנּ֣וּר נִכְמָ֔רוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י זַלְעֲפ֥וֹת רָעָֽב׃
11They have raped women in Zion, young women in the towns of Judah.11נָשִׁים֙ בְּצִיּ֣וֹן עִנּ֔וּ בְּתֻלֹ֖ת בְּעָרֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה׃
12Princes they have hung by their hands; elders they have disrespected.12שָׂרִים֙ בְּיָדָ֣ם נִתְל֔וּ פְּנֵ֥י זְקֵנִ֖ים לֹ֥א נֶהְדָּֽרוּ׃
13Our young men must grind grain with a millstone; our youths stumble under the weight of wood.13בַּחוּרִים֙ טְח֣וֹן נָשָׂ֔אוּ וּנְעָרִ֖ים בָּעֵ֥ץ כָּשָֽׁלוּ׃
14Our elders have ceased ruling at the gate; our young men have abandoned their music.14זְקֵנִים֙ מִשַּׁ֣עַר שָׁבָ֔תוּ בַּחוּרִ֖ים מִנְּגִינָתָֽם׃
15The joy of our hearts has ceased, and our dancing has turned into dirges.15שָׁבַת֙ מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ לִבֵּ֔נוּ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ לְאֵ֖בֶל מְחֹלֵֽנוּ׃
16The crown has fallen from our head— woe to us, because we have sinned!16נָֽפְלָה֙ עֲטֶ֣רֶת רֹאשֵׁ֔נוּ אֽוֹי־ נָ֥א לָ֖נוּ כִּ֥י חָטָֽאנוּ׃
17This is why our hearts faint, and why our eyes grow dim:17עַל־ זֶ֗ה הָיָ֤ה דָוֶה֙ לִבֵּ֔נוּ עַל־ אֵ֖לֶּה חָשְׁכ֥וּ עֵינֵֽינוּ׃
18Because Mount Zion is desolate; foxes roam around it.18עַ֤ל הַר־ צִיּוֹן֙ שֶׁשָּׁמֵ֔ם שׁוּעָלִ֖ים הִלְּכוּ־ בֽוֹ׃ פ
19You, LORD, are forever— your throne endures from generation to generation.19אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לְעוֹלָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֔ב כִּסְאֲךָ֖ לְדֹ֥ר וָדֽוֹר׃
20So why have you completely forgotten us, forsaking us for so long?20לָ֤מָּה לָנֶ֙צַח֙ תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֔נוּ תַּֽעַזְבֵ֖נוּ לְאֹ֥רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃
21Restore us to yourself, LORD, so that we may return. Renew our days as before,21הֲשִׁיבֵ֨נוּ יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ [ונשוב] (וְֽנָשׁ֔וּבָה) חַדֵּ֥שׁ יָמֵ֖ינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם׃
22unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us without limit.22כִּ֚י אִם־ מָאֹ֣ס מְאַסְתָּ֔נוּ קָצַ֥פְתָּ עָלֵ֖ינוּ עַד־ מְאֹֽד׃
