Lamentations 3:56-63

56‘Please listen to me, Lord,’ I shouted. ‘Help me! Save me!’ I shouted, and you heard me.

57You came near to me when I prayed to you. ‘Do not be afraid,’ you said.

58Lord, you have given me help. You have paid the price to keep me alive.

59You saw the bad things that they did to me. So please agree with me that they were not fair!

60You know all the bad things that they did to me. And you know about all the bad things that they want to do to me.

61You have heard their cruel words against me, Lord. Yes, you know about all the bad things that they want to do to me.

62These people have been cruel to me. They attack me with cruel words every hour of the day.

63Look at them as they sing cruel things about me. They sing when they are sitting, and they sing when they are standing.
