Lamentations 3:46–59

⁴⁶Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

⁴⁷Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction.

⁴⁸Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴⁹Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest:

⁵⁰Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.

⁵¹Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

⁵²Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause.

⁵³Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me.

⁵⁴Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.

⁵⁵Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.

⁵⁶Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries.

⁵⁷Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not.

⁵⁸Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.

⁵⁹Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment.
