| 1 | Remember, O Lord, what is come vpon vs: consider and beholde our reproch. |
| 2 | Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliants. |
| 3 | We are orphanes and fatherlesse, our mothers are as widowes. |
| 4 | We haue drunken our water for money, our wood is sold vnto vs. |
| 5 | Our neckes are vnder persecution: we labour and haue no rest. |
| 6 | We haue giuen the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. |
| 7 | Our fathers haue sinned and are not, and wee haue borne their iniquities. |
| 8 | Seruants haue ruled ouer vs: there is none that doeth deliuer vs out of their hand. |
| 9 | We gate our bread with the perill of our liues, because of the sword of the wildernesse. |
| 10 | Our skinne was blacke like an ouen, because of the terrible famine. |
| 11 | They rauished the women in Zion, and the maides in the cities of Iudah. |
| 12 | Princes are hanged vp by their hand: the faces of Elders were not honoured. |
| 13 | They tooke the young men to grinde, and the children fell vnder the wood. |
| 14 | The Elders haue ceased from the gate, the young men from their musicke. |
| 15 | The ioy of our heart is ceased, our daunce is turned into mourning. |
| 16 | The crowne is fallen from our head: Woe vnto vs, that wee haue sinned. |
| 17 | For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dimme. |
| 18 | Because of the mountaine of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walke vpon it. |
| 19 | Thou, O Lord, remainest for euer: thy throne from generation to generation. |
| 20 | Wherefore doest thou forget vs for euer, and forsake vs so long time? |
| 21 | Turne thou vs vnto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned: renew our dayes as of old. |
| 22 | But thou hast vtterly reiected vs: thou art very wroth against vs. |
