Restore Us to Yourself, O Lord

1cRemember, O Lord, what has befallen us;

look, and see dour disgrace!

2eOur inheritance has been turned over to strangers,

our homes to foreigners.

3We have become orphans, fatherless;

our mothers are like widows.

4We must pay for the water we drink;

the wood we get must be bought.

5fOur pursuers are at our necks;

we are weary; we are given no rest.

6We have given the hand to gEgypt, and to gAssyria,

to get bread enough.

7Our fathers sinned, and are no more;

hand we bear their iniquities.

8iSlaves rule over us;

there is none to deliver us from their hand.

9jWe get our bread at the peril of our lives,

because of the sword in the wilderness.

10kOur skin is hot as an oven

with lthe burning heat of famine.

11Women are raped in Zion,

young women in the towns of Judah.

12mPrinces are hung up by their hands;

nno respect is shown to the elders.

13Young men are compelled to ogrind at the mill,

and boys stagger punder loads of wood.

14nThe old men have left the city gate,

the young men qtheir music.

15qThe joy of our hearts has ceased;

rour dancing has been turned to mourning.

16sThe crown has fallen from our head;

woe to us, for we have sinned!

17For this tour heart has become sick,

for these things uour eyes have grown dim,

18for Mount Zion which lies desolate;

vjackals prowl over it.

19wBut you, O Lord, reign forever;

your throne endures to all generations.

20xWhy do you forget us forever,

why do you forsake us for so many days?

21yRestore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored!

Renew our days as of old—

22zunless you have utterly rejected us,

and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
