Plegaria de Jeremías por el pueblo

Acuérdate, oh SEÑOR, de lo que nos ha sucedido;mira y ve nuestro oprobio^a.2 Nuestra heredad ha pasado a extraños^a,nuestras casas a extranjeros^b.3 Hemos quedado huérfanos, sin padre,nuestras madres, como viudas^a.4 Por el agua que bebemos tenemos que pagar¹,nuestra leña nos llega por precio^a.5 Sobre nuestros cuellos están nuestros perseguidores¹;no hay descanso para nosotros, estamos agotados^a.6 A Egipto y a Asiria nos hemos sometido¹para saciarnos de pan^a.7 Nuestros padres pecaron, ya no existen,y nosotros cargamos con sus iniquidades^a.8 Esclavos dominan sobre nosotros^a,no hay quien nos libre de su mano^b.9 Con peligro de nuestras vidas¹ conseguimos nuestro pan^a,enfrentándonos a la espada del desierto.10 Nuestra piel quema como un horno,a causa de los ardores¹ del hambre^a.11 Violaron a las mujeres en Sión^a,a las vírgenes en las ciudades de Judá.12 Los príncipes fueron colgados de sus manos,los rostros de los ancianos no fueron respetados^a.13 Los jóvenes trabajaron en¹ el molino^a,y los muchachos cayeron bajo el peso de la leña^b.14 Los ancianos se han apartado de¹ las puertas,los jóvenes de su música^a.15 Ha cesado el gozo de nuestro corazón,se ha convertido en duelo nuestra danza^a.16 Ha caído la corona de nuestra cabeza^a.¡Ay de nosotros, pues hemos pecado^b!17 Por esto está abatido nuestro corazón^a,por estas cosas se nublan nuestros ojos^b,18 por el monte Sión que está asolado^a;las zorras merodean en él^b.

19 Mas¹ tú, oh SEÑOR, reinas² para siempre,tu trono permanece de generación en generación^a.20 ¿Por qué te olvidas para siempre de nosotros,y nos abandonas a perpetuidad¹^a?21 Restáuranos a ti, oh SEÑOR, y seremos restaurados^a;renueva nuestros días como antaño^b,22 a no ser que nos hayas desechado totalmente^a,y estés enojado en gran manera contra nosotros^b.

A Prayer for Mercy

Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us;Look, and see our ^areproach!2 Our inheritance has been turned over to ^astrangers,Our ^bhouses to aliens.3 We have become orphans ^awithout a father,Our mothers are like widows.4 ¹We have to pay for our drinking ^awater,Our wood comes to us at a price.5 ¹Our pursuers are at our necks;We are worn out, there is ^ano rest for us.6 We have ¹submitted to ^aEgypt and Assyria ²to get enough bread.7 Our ^afathers sinned, and are no more;It is we who have borne their iniquities.8 ^aSlaves rule over us;There is ^bno one to deliver us from their hand.9 We get our bread ¹at the ^arisk of our lives²Because of the sword in the wilderness.10 Our skin has become as ^ahot as an oven,Because of ¹the burning heat of famine.11 They ravished the ^awomen in Zion,The virgins in the cities of Judah.12 Princes were hung by their hands;¹^aElders were not respected.13 Young men ¹^aworked at the grinding mill,And youths ^bstumbled under loads of wood.14 Elders ¹are gone from the gate,Young men from their ^amusic.15 The joy of our hearts has ^aceased;Our dancing has been turned into mourning.16 The ^acrown has fallen from our head;^bWoe to us, for we have sinned!17 Because of this our ^aheart is faint,Because of these things our ^beyes are dim;18 Because of ^aMount Zion which lies desolate,^bFoxes prowl in it.

19 ^aYou, O LORD, ¹rule forever;Your ^bthrone is from generation to generation.20 Why do You ^aforget us forever?Why do You forsake us ¹so long?21 ^aRestore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored;Renew ^bour days as of old,22 Unless ^aYou have utterly rejected usAnd are exceedingly ^bangry with us.

A Prayer for Mercy

O LORD, remember what has come upon us;Look, and see our ^areproach (national disgrace) !2 Our inheritance has been turned over to ^astrangers,Our ^bhouses to foreigners.3 We have become orphans without a ^afather;Our mothers are like widows.4 We have to pay for our drinking ^awater;Our wood comes to us at a price.5 Our pursuers are at our necks;We are worn out, there is ^ano rest for us.6 We have given the hand as a pledge of fidelity and submission to ^aEgypt and Assyria to get enough bread.7 Our ^afathers sinned, and are no more;It is ¹we who have carried their sin. Is 65:7; Jer 16:11, 12; 31:29; Ezek 18:2-48 ^aServants rule over us;There is ^bno one to rescue us out of their hand. Neh 5:159 We get our bread at the ^arisk of our livesBecause of the sword of the Arabs in the wilderness who may attack if we go out to harvest the crop.10 Our skin is ^aas hot as the heat of an ovenBecause of the burning heat of the fever of famine.11 They ravished the ^awomen in Zion,The virgins in the cities of Judah.12 Princes were hung by their hands;^aElders were not respected.13 Young men ^aworked at the grinding mill,And boys ^bfell staggering under loads of wood.14 Elders are gone from the gate;Young men from their ^amusic.15 ^aThe joy of our hearts has ended;Our dancing has been turned into mourning.16 The ^acrown has fallen from our head our honor is covered with dust!^bWoe to us, for we have sinned!17 Because of this our ^aheart is faint,Because of these things our ^beyes are dim.18 As for ^aMount Zion, which lies desolate,^bFoxes and the jackals prowl over it.

19 But ^aYou, O LORD, reign forever;Your ^bthrone endures from generation to all generations.20 Why do You ^aforget us forever?Why do You forsake us so long?21 ^aReturn us to You, O LORD, so that we may be restored;Renew ^bour days as of old,22 Unless ^aYou have utterly rejected usAnd are exceedingly ^bangry with us.
