While We Weep ... For VT
How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!
How like a widow she is, who was once great among the nations!
...
Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are upon her cheeks.
Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her;
they have become her enemies.
...
Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us;
look and see our disgrace.
Our inheritance has been turned ...
We have become orphans and fatherless,
our mothers like 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.
...
Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning ...
Because of this our hearts are faint,
because of these things our eyes grow dim ...
You, O LORD reign forever; your throne endures from
generation to generation.
Why do you always forget us?
Why do you forsake us so long?
Restore us to yourself, O LORD,
that we may return; renew our days of old
unless you have utterly rejected us
and are angry with us beyond measure.
Lamentations 1.1-2; 5.1-5, 15, 17, 19-22
