Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!
He has filled me with bitterness; he has sated me with wormwood.
he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation;
Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink.
A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Lord, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured,
Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,
Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
“Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.
“Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day.
