Lamentations 3:56–63

56  byou heard my plea, ‘Do not close

your ear to my cry for help!’

57  cYou came near when I called on you;

you said, d‘Do not fear!’

58  “You have etaken up my cause, fO Lord;

you have eredeemed my life.

59  You have seen the wrong done to me, gO Lord;

judge my cause.

60  You have seen all their vengeance,

all htheir plots against me.

61  i“You have heard their taunts, O Lord,

all htheir plots against me.

62  The lips and thoughts jof my assailants

are against me all the day long.

63  kBehold their sitting and their rising;

lI am the object of their taunts.
