Lamentations 3:46–59

46 All our enemies have aopened their mouths against us.

47 aPanic and pitfall have befallen us,

Devastation and destruction;

48 My 1aeyes run down with streams of water

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49 My eyes pour down aunceasingly,

Without stopping,

50 Until the Lord alooks down

And sees from heaven.

51 My eyes bring pain to my soul

Because of all the daughters of my city.

52 My enemies awithout cause

Hunted me down blike a bird;

53 They have silenced 1me ain the pit

And have 2bplaced a stone on me.

54 Waters flowed aover my head;

I said, “I am cut off!”

55 I acalled on Your name, O Lord,

Out of the lowest pit.

56 You have aheard my voice,

“bDo not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief,

From my cry for help.”

57 You adrew near when I called on You;

You said, “bDo not fear!”

58 O Lord, You ahave pleaded my soul’s cause;

You have bredeemed my life.

59 O Lord, You have aseen my oppression;

bJudge my case.
