1 Souviens-toi, Éternel, de ce qui nous est arrivé! Regarde, vois notre opprobre!

2 Notre héritage a passé à des étrangers, Nos maisons à des inconnus.

3 Nous sommes orphelins, sans père; Nos mères sont comme des veuves.

4 Nous buvons notre eau à prix d’argent, Nous payons notre bois.

5 Nous sommes poursuivis, le joug sur le cou; Nous sommes épuisés, nous n’avons point de repos.
