us.

and have no rest.

Ashurim, to be satisfied with lechem.
7 Our ahvot have sinned, and are no more; and we have
borne their iniquities.

deliver us out of their hand.
9 We have gotten our lechem with the peril of our lives
because of the sword of the wilderness.
10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible
famine.
11 They ravished the women in Tzion, and the young

14 The zechanim have ceased from the gate, the young
men from their music.

15 The simcha of our lev is ceased; our dance is turned

walk upon it.

generation to generation.
20 Why do You forget us le-olam-va-ed, and forsake us
for so long a time?
21 Turn us to You, O vuvh, and we shall be turned; renew
our days as of old. 4116
22 But You have utterly rejected us; You are very angry
with us, exceedingly!
