1Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!1זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָה֙ מֶֽה־ הָ֣יָה לָ֔נוּ [הביט] (הַבִּ֖יטָה) וּרְאֵ֥ה אֶת־ חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.2נַחֲלָתֵ֙נוּ֙ נֶֽהֶפְכָ֣ה לְזָרִ֔ים בָּתֵּ֖ינוּ לְנָכְרִֽים׃
3We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.3יְתוֹמִ֤ים הָיִ֙ינוּ֙ [אין] (וְאֵ֣ין) אָ֔ב אִמֹּתֵ֖ינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֽוֹת׃
4We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.4מֵימֵ֙ינוּ֙ בְּכֶ֣סֶף שָׁתִ֔ינוּ עֵצֵ֖ינוּ בִּמְחִ֥יר יָבֹֽאוּ׃
5Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.5עַ֤ל צַוָּארֵ֙נוּ֙ נִרְדָּ֔פְנוּ יָגַ֖עְנוּ [לא] (וְלֹ֥א) הֽוּנַ֖ח‪‬ לָֽנוּ׃
6We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.6מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ נָתַ֣נּוּ יָ֔ד אַשּׁ֖וּר לִשְׂבֹּ֥עַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.7אֲבֹתֵ֤ינוּ חָֽטְאוּ֙ [אינם] (וְאֵינָ֔ם) [אנחנו] (וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ) עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶ֥ם סָבָֽלְנוּ׃
8Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.8עֲבָדִים֙ מָ֣שְׁלוּ בָ֔נוּ פֹּרֵ֖ק אֵ֥ין מִיָּדָֽם׃
9We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.9בְּנַפְשֵׁ֙נוּ֙ נָבִ֣יא לַחְמֵ֔נוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י חֶ֥רֶב הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
10Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.10עוֹרֵ֙נוּ֙ כְּתַנּ֣וּר נִכְמָ֔רוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י זַלְעֲפ֥וֹת רָעָֽב׃
11They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.11נָשִׁים֙ בְּצִיּ֣וֹן עִנּ֔וּ בְּתֻלֹ֖ת בְּעָרֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה׃
12Princes were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.12שָׂרִים֙ בְּיָדָ֣ם נִתְל֔וּ פְּנֵ֥י זְקֵנִ֖ים לֹ֥א נֶהְדָּֽרוּ׃
13Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths stumbled under loads of wood.13בַּחוּרִים֙ טְח֣וֹן נָשָׂ֔אוּ וּנְעָרִ֖ים בָּעֵ֥ץ כָּשָֽׁלוּ׃
14Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music.14זְקֵנִים֙ מִשַּׁ֣עַר שָׁבָ֔תוּ בַּחוּרִ֖ים מִנְּגִינָתָֽם׃
15The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.15שָׁבַת֙ מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ לִבֵּ֔נוּ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ לְאֵ֖בֶל מְחֹלֵֽנוּ׃
16The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!16נָֽפְלָה֙ עֲטֶ֣רֶת רֹאשֵׁ֔נוּ אֽוֹי־ נָ֥א לָ֖נוּ כִּ֥י חָטָֽאנוּ׃
17Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;17עַל־ זֶ֗ה הָיָ֤ה דָוֶה֙ לִבֵּ֔נוּ עַל־ אֵ֖לֶּה חָשְׁכ֥וּ עֵינֵֽינוּ׃
18Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.18עַ֤ל הַר־ צִיּוֹן֙ שֶׁשָּׁמֵ֔ם שׁוּעָלִ֖ים הִלְּכוּ־ בֽוֹ׃ פ
19You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.19אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לְעוֹלָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֔ב כִּסְאֲךָ֖ לְדֹ֥ר וָדֽוֹר׃
20Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?20לָ֤מָּה לָנֶ֙צַח֙ תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֔נוּ תַּֽעַזְבֵ֖נוּ לְאֹ֥רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃
21Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,21הֲשִׁיבֵ֨נוּ יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ [ונשוב] (וְֽנָשׁ֔וּבָה) חַדֵּ֥שׁ יָמֵ֖ינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם׃
22Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.22כִּ֚י אִם־ מָאֹ֣ס מְאַסְתָּ֔נוּ קָצַ֥פְתָּ עָלֵ֖ינוּ עַד־ מְאֹֽד׃
