Jerusalem remembers
    in the days of her affliction and wandering
(A)all the precious things
    that were hers from (B)days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
    and there was none to help her,
her foes gloated over her;
    they (C)mocked at her downfall.

(D)Jerusalem sinned grievously;
    therefore she became filthy;
all who honored her despise her,
    (E)for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself (F)groans
    and turns her face away.

Her uncleanness was (G)in her skirts;
    (H)she took no thought of her future;[a]
therefore her fall is terrible;
    (I)she has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
    for the enemy has (J)triumphed!”
