Contextual Overview
1O LORD, remember what has come upon us; Look, and see our reproach (national disgrace)! 2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.3We have become orphans without a father; Our mothers are like widows. 4We have to pay for our drinking water; Our wood comes to us at a price. 5Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us. 6We have given the hand [as a pledge of fidelity and submission] to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread. 7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have carried their sin. 8Servants rule over us; There is no one to rescue us out of their hand. 9We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword [of the Arabs] in the wilderness [who may attack if we go out to harvest the crop]. 10Our skin is as hot as [the heat of] an oven Because of the burning heat of [the fever of] famine.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Our inheritance is turned to strangers,.... The land of Canaan in general, which was given to Abraham and his seed to be their inheritance; and their field, and vineyards in particular, which came to them by inheritance from their fathers, were now in the hands of the Chaldeans, strangers to God, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, as all Gentiles were, Ephesians 2:12;
our houses to aliens; which they had built or purchased, or their fathers had left them, were now inhabited by those of another country.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Turned - “transferred.” The inheritance was the land of Canaan Leviticus 20:24.
Aliens - Or, “foreigners:” i. e. the Chaldaeans upon their conquest of the country.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Lamentations 5:2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers — The greater part of the Jews were either slain or carried away captive; and even those who were left under Gedaliah were not free, for they were vassals to the Chaldeans.
