Lamentations 5 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

A Prayer for Mercy

¶

Lam 5:1Remember, LORD, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach.

Lam 5:2Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens.

Lam 5:3We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.

Lam 5:4We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us.

Lam 5:5Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.

Lam 5:6We have given the hand to the Mitzrim, To the Ashshur, to be satisfied with bread.

Lam 5:7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities.

Lam 5:8Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.

Lam 5:9We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

Lam 5:10Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.

Lam 5:11They ravished the women in Tziyon, The virgins in the cities of Yehudah.

Lam 5:12Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of Zakenim were not honored.

Lam 5:13The young men bare the mill; The children stumbled under the wood.

Lam 5:14The Zakenim have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.

Lam 5:15The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.

Lam 5:16The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned.

Lam 5:17For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

Lam 5:18For the mountain of Tziyon, which is desolate: The foxes walk on it.

Lam 5:19You, LORD, abide forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.

Lam 5:20Why do you forget us forever, And forsake us so long time?

Lam 5:21Turn you us to you, LORD, and we shall be turned; Renew our days as of old.

Lam 5:22But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.
