1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

Psm 89:50   Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Psm 79:4   We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Lam 2:15  All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

Psm 79:1  (A Psalm of Asaph.) O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

Jer 28:14  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

Gen 24:2   And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

Hos 12:1   Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Jer 31:29   In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

9 We gat our bread 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 Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.

12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.

13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.

14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

Psm 89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

Psm 6:7  Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

Psm 9:7   But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

Psm 45:6   Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

Psm 13:1   (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
