Remember, O Lord, remember what has befallen us.
Look and see our disgrace, Lord.
Look, O Lord, and see what has come to pass.
Let tears stream down, day and night.
O hear our cry, O Lord. Our eyes are spent with weeping.
Cry aloud to the Lord God, "O hear my cry, Lord God! O Lord have mercy on me!"
Do not close your ears to our cry, God Almighty; O Lord, have mercy. (from Lamentations of Jeremiah)
