5 ^(A)Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
    look, and see ^(B)our disgrace!
^2 (C)Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
    our homes to foreigners.
³ We have become orphans, fatherless;
    our mothers are like widows.
⁴ We must pay for the water we drink;
    the wood we get must be bought.

^15 (A)The joy of our hearts has ceased;
    ^(B)our dancing has been turned to mourning.
^16 (C)The crown has fallen from our head;
    woe to us, for we have sinned!
