Lamentations 3:56-63

56You have heard my voice, “Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help.”

57You drew near on the day I called to You; You said, “Do not fear.”

58O Lord, You have pleaded my soul’s cause [You have guided my way and protected me]; You have rescued and redeemed my life.

59O Lord, You have seen the wrong [done to me]; Judge my case.

60You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.

61You have heard their reproach, O Lord, And all their schemes against me.

62The lips and whispering of my assailants Are against me all day long.

63Look at their sitting and their rising [their actions and secret counsels]; I am their mocking song [the subject of their ridicule].
