PRAYER FOR RESTORATION
5Lord, remember what has happened to us.
Look, and see our disgrace!e
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to foreigners.
3We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are widows.
4We must pay for the water we drink;
our wood comes at a price.
5We are closely pursued;
we are tired, and no one offers us rest.
6We made a treaty withC Egypt
and with Assyria, to get enough food.f

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
look, and see our disgrace!
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are like widows.
We must pay for the water we drink;
the wood we get must be bought.
Our pursuers are at our necks;
we are weary; we are given no rest.
We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria,
to get bread enough.

Remember, Lord, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
We have become fatherless,
our mothers are widows.
We must buy the water we drink;
our wood can be had only at a price.
Those who pursue us are at our heels;
we are weary and find no rest.
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria
to get enough bread.

NLTNew Living Translation
Lord, remember what has happened to us.
See how we have been disgraced!
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
We are orphaned and fatherless.
Our mothers are widowed.
We have to pay for water to drink,
and even firewood is expensive.
Those who pursue us are at our heels;
we are exhausted but are given no rest.
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria
to get enough food to survive.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Remember, O Yahweh, what has become of us;
take note, and see our disgrace!
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses, to foreigners.
We have become orphans, fatherless,
our mothers are like widows.
We pay for water with money,
our wood comes to us at a price.
We are driven on our necks;
we are weary, there is no rest for us.
We have made a deal with Egypt and Assyria
to be satisfied with food.

KJV 1900King James Version
Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us:
Consider, and behold our reproach.
Our inheritance is turned to strangers,
Our houses to aliens.
We are orphans and fatherless,
Our mothers are as widows.
We have drunken our water for money;
Our wood is sold unto us.
Our necks are under persecution:
We labour, and have no rest.
We have given the hand to the Egyptians,
And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
