5 : 1 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 5 : 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 5 : 3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 5 : 4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5 : 5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 5 : 6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 5 : 7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 5 : 8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 5 : 9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 5 : 10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. 5 : 11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. 5 : 12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 5 : 13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. 5 : 14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. 5 : 15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 5 : 16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! 5 : 17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. 5 : 18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 5 : 19 Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. 5 : 20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 5 : 21 Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 5 : 22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
