| 5:1 | Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. | |
| 5:2 | Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. | |
| 5:3 | We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers as widows. | |
| 5:4 | We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us. | |
| 5:5 | Our necks under persecution: we labor, have no rest. | |
| 5:6 | We have given the hand the Egyptians, the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. | |
| 5:7 | Our fathers have sinned, not; and we have borne their iniquities. | |
| 5:8 | Servants have ruled over us: none that doth deliver out of their hand. | |
| 5:9 | We procured our bread with our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness. | |
| 5:10 | Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. | |
| 5:11 | They ravished the women in Zion, the maids in the cities of Judah. | |
| 5:12 | Princes were hanged by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored. | |
| 5:13 | They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. | |
| 5:14 | The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. | |
| 5:15 | The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. | |
| 5:16 | The crown is fallen our head: woe to us, that we have sinned! | |
| 5:17 | For this our heart is faint; for these our eyes are dim. | |
| 5:18 | Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. | |
| 5:19 | Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. | |
| 5:20 | Why dost thou forget us for ever, forsake us so long time? | |
| 5:21 | Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. | |
| 5:22 | But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. | |
