Lamentations 3:53-66 ▼

53 They haue shut vp my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone vpon me.

54 Waters flowed ouer mine head, then thought I, I am destroyed.

55 I called vpon thy Name, O Lorde, out of the lowe dungeon.

56 Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry.

57 Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not.

58 O Lord, thou hast maintained the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my life.

59 O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.

60 Thou hast seene all their vengeance, and all their deuises against me.

61 Thou hast heard their reproch, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me:

62 The lippes also of those that rose against me, and their whispering against me continually.

63 Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, how I am their song.

64 Giue them a recompence, O Lord, according to the worke of their handes.

65 Giue them sorow of heart, euen thy curse to them.

66 Persecute with wrath & destroy them from vnder the heauen, O Lord.
