Lamentations 3:54

Compare all

52 My enemies ^awithout cause
Hunted me down like a bird.

53 They¹ silenced my life ^ain the pit
And ^bthrew stones at me.

54 ^aThe waters flowed over my head;
^bI said, “I am cut off!”

55 ^aI called on Your name, O Lord,
From the lowest ^bpit.

56 ^aYou have heard my voice:
“Do not hide Your ear
From my sighing, from my cry for help.”

57 You ^adrew near on the day I called on You,
And said, ^b“Do not fear!”

58 O Lord, You have ^apleaded the case for my soul;
^bYou have redeemed my life.

59 O Lord, You have seen¹ how I am wronged;
^aJudge my case.

60 You have seen all their vengeance,
All their ^aschemes 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 ^asitting down and their rising up;
I am their taunting song.

64 ^aRepay them, O Lord,
According to the work of their hands.

65 Give them¹ a veiled heart;
Your curse be upon them!

66 In Your anger,
Pursue and destroy them
^aFrom under the heavens of the ^bLord.
