Lamentations 3:52–66

⁵²They have chased me sore like a bird, they that are mine enemies without cause. ⁵³They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me. ⁵⁴Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

⁵⁵I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon. ⁵⁶Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. ⁵⁷Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not. ⁵⁸O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. ⁵⁹O Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause. ⁶⁰Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me. ⁶¹Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me, ⁶²The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. ⁶³Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song. ⁶⁴Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands. ⁶⁵Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them. ⁶⁶Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
