Contextual Overview
1 Remember, Lord , what happened to us. Look and see our shame. 2 Our land has been turned over to strangers. Our houses have been given to foreigners. 3 We have become orphans. We have no father. Our mothers have become like widows. 4 We have to buy the water that we drink. We have to pay for the wood that we use. 5 We are forced to wear a yoke on our necks. We get tired, and we have no rest. 6 We made an agreement with Egypt. We also made an agreement with Assyria to get enough bread. 7 Our ancestors sinned against you, and now they are dead. And we are suffering because of their sins. 8 Slaves have become our rulers. No one can save us from them. 9 We risk our lives to get food. There are men in the desert with swords. 10 Our skin is hot like an oven. We have a high fever because of our hunger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The joy of our heart is ceased,.... ward joy was gone, as well as the external signs of it: it "sabbatized" y, as it may be rendered; alluding perhaps to the cordial joy expressed formerly on their sabbaths and other festivals, now not observed; at least, not with that joy, inward and outward, they formerly were:
our dance is turned into mourning; which also was used at their solemn feasts, as well as at their common diversions, Judges 21:21; but now no more of that; but, instead of it, mourning at the calamities they were oppressed with; and at the remembrance of mercies and privileges, civil and religious, they were deprived of.
y שבת "sabbatizat".
