52 My enemies
a without cause
Hunted me down like a bird.
‡
53 They
1 silenced my life
a in the pit
And
b threw stones at me.
‡
54 a The waters flowed over my head;
b I said, “I am cut off!”
‡
55 a I called on Your name, O
Lord ,
From the lowest
b pit.
‡
56 a You have heard my voice:
“Do not hide Your ear
From my sighing, from my cry for help.”
‡
57 You
a drew near on the day I called on You,
And said,
b “Do not fear!”
‡
58 O Lord, You have
a pleaded the case for my soul;
b You have redeemed my life.
‡
59 O
Lord , You have seen
1 how I am wronged;
a Judge my case.
‡
60 You have seen all their vengeance,
All their
a schemes against me.
‡
61 You have heard their reproach, O
Lord ,
All their schemes against me,
62 The lips of my enemies
And their whispering against me all the day.
63 Look at their
a sitting down and their rising up;
I
am their taunting song.
‡
64 a Repay them, O
Lord ,
According to the work of their hands.
‡
65 Give them
1 a veiled heart;
Your curse
be upon them!
‡
66 In Your anger,
Pursue and destroy them
a From under the heavens of the
b Lord .
