5 Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
    look, and see our disgrace.^(A)
2 Our inheritance^(B) has been turned over to strangers,^(C)
    our homes^(D) to foreigners.^(E)
3 We have become fatherless,
    our mothers are widows.^(F)
4 We must buy the water we drink;^(G)
    our wood can be had only at a price.^(H)
5 Those who pursue us are at our heels;
    we are weary^(I) and find no rest.^(J)
6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria^(K)
    to get enough bread.
⁷ Our ancestors^(L) sinned and are no more,
    and we bear their punishment.^(M)
