Lamentations 5 — GMV

5 Verse 1 Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us: ^{Verse 2} Our inheritance has been turned away to aliens, ^{Verse 3} We are become orphans, we have no father, ^{Verse 4} We have drunk our water for money; ^{Verse 5} We have been persecuted, ^{Verse 6} Egypt gave the hand to us, ^{Verse 7} Our fathers sinned, and are not: ^{Verse 8} Servants have ruled over us: ^{Verse 9} We shall bring in our bread with danger of our lives, ^{Verse 10} Our skin is blackened like an oven; ^{Verse 11} They humbled the women in Zion, ^{Verse 12} Princes were hanged up by their hands: the elders were not honored. ^{Verse 13} The chosen men lifted up the voice in weeping, ^{Verse 14} And the elders ceased from the gate, ^{Verse 15} The joy of our heart has ceased; ^{Verse 16} The crown has fallen from our head: ^{Verse 17} For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: ^{Verse 18} Over the mountain of Zion, because it is made desolate, ^{Verse 19} But thou, O Lord, shalt dwell forever; ^{Verse 20} Wherefore wilt thou utterly forget us, ^{Verse 21} Turn us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be turned; ^{Verse 22} For thou hast indeed rejected us;
