Lamentations 3:55-66

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

56You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.”

57You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.”

58You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.

59Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!

60You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me.

61Lord, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me—

62what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.

63Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.

64Pay them back what they deserve, Lord, for what their hands have done.

65Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them!

66Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the Lord.
