Lamentations 3:53-66 ▼

53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone on me.

54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.

55 I called on your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57 You drew near in the day that I called on you: you said, Fear not.

58 O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.

59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.

60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;

62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.

64 Render to them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

65 Give them sorrow of heart, your curse to them.

66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
