51Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us.Look, and see our reproach.+2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our houses to aliens.+3We are orphans and fatherless.Our mothers are as widows.+4We have drunken our water for money.Our wood is sold to us.+5Our pursuers are on our necks.We are weary, and have no rest.+6We have given our hands to the Egyptians,and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.+7Our fathers sinned, and are no more.We have borne their iniquities.+8Servants rule over us.There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.+9We get our bread at the peril of our lives,because of the sword of the wilderness.+10Our skin is black like an oven,because of the burning heat of famine.+11They ravished the women in Zion,the virgins in the cities of Judah.+12Princes were hanged up by their hands.The faces of elders were not honored.+13The young men carry millstones.The children stumbled under loads of wood.+14The elders have ceased from the gate,and the young men from their music.+15The joy of our heart has ceased.Our dance is turned into mourning.+16The crown has fallen from our head.Woe to us, for we have sinned!+17For this our heart is faint.For these things our eyes are dim.+18For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate.The foxes walk on it.+19You, Yahweh, remain forever.Your throne is from generation to generation.+20Why do you forget us forever,and forsake us for so long a time?+21Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned.Renew our days as of old.+22But you have utterly rejected us.You are very angry against us.+
