A Prayer for Mercy
1
Remember
, O
LORD
,
what
has
befallen
us;
Look
, and
see
our
1
reproach
!
2
Our
inheritance
has been
turned
over to
2
strangers
, Our
3
houses
to
aliens
.
3
We have
become
orphans
4
without
a
father
, Our
mothers
are like
widows
.
4
We have to
pay
for our
drinking
5
water
, Our
wood
comes
to us at a
price
.
5
Our
pursuers
are at our
necks
; We are
worn
out, there is
6
no
rest
for us.
6
We have
submitted
*
to
7
Egypt
and
Assyria
to
get
enough
bread
.
7
Our
8
fathers
sinned
, and are
no
more
; It is we who have
borne
their
iniquities
.
8
9
Slaves
rule
over us;
There
is
10
no
one
to
deliver
us from their
hand
.
9
We
get
our
bread
at the
11
risk of our
lives
Because
*
of the
sword
in the
wilderness
.
10
Our
skin
has
become
as
12
hot
as an
oven
,
Because
*
of the
burning
heat
of
famine
.
11
They
ravished
the
13
women
in
Zion
, The
virgins
in the
cities
of
Judah
.
12
Princes
were
hung
by their
hands
;
14
Elders
were not
respected
.
13
Young
men
15
worked
at the
grinding
mill
, And
youths
16
stumbled
under loads of
wood
.
14
Elders
are
gone
from the
gate
,
Young
men
from their
17
music
.
15
The
joy
of our
hearts
has
18
ceased
; Our
dancing
has been
turned
into
mourning
.
16
The
19
crown
has
fallen
from our
head
;
20
Woe
to us, for we have
sinned
!
17
Because
of
this
our
21
heart
is
faint
,
Because
of
these
things
our
22
eyes
are
dim
;
18
Because
of
23
Mount
Zion
which
lies
desolate
,
24
Foxes
prowl
in it.
19
25
You, O
LORD
,
rule
forever
; Your
26
throne
is from
generation
to
generation
.
20
Why
do You
27
forget
us
forever
? Why do You
forsake
us
so
*
long
*
?
21
28
Restore
us to You, O
LORD
, that we may be
restored
;
Renew
29
our
days
as of
old
,
22
Unless
*
30
You have
utterly
rejected
us And are
exceedingly
*
31
angry
with us.
