Lamentations 3:55-66

55I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.

56You heard my plea: Do not ignore my cry for relief.

57You came near whenever I called you; you said, “Do not be afraid.”

58You championed my cause, Lord; you redeemed my life.

59Lord, you saw the wrong done to me; judge my case.

60You saw all their vengefulness, all their plots against me.

61Lord, you heard their insults, all their plots against me.

62The slander and murmuring of my opponents attack me all day long.

63When they sit and when they rise, look, I am mocked by their songs.

64You will pay them back what they deserve, Lord, according to the work of their hands.

65You will give them a heart filled with anguish. May your curse be on them!

66You will pursue them in anger and destroy them under your heavens.
