Lamentations 3:54-66 ▼

54 They haue powred water vpon my head: then thought I, nowe am I vndone.

55 I called vpon thy name O Lorde out of the deepe pit.

56 Thou hast heard my voyce, and hast not turned away thyne eares from my sighing and crying.

57 Thou hast inclyned thy selfe vnto me when I called vpon thee: and hast said, feare not.

58 Thou (O Lorde) hast mayntayned the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my lyfe.

59 O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, take thou my cause vpon thee.

60 Thou hast well considered howe they go about to do me harme, and that all their counsels are against me.

61 Thou hast hearde their despitefull wordes O Lorde, yea and all the imaginations against me:

62 The lippes of mine enemies, and their deuises that they take against me al the day long.

63 Thou seest also their sitting downe and their rising vp, they make their songes of nothing but of me.

64 Rewarde them, O Lorde, according to the workes of their handes.

65 Geue them an obstinate heart, euen thy curse.

66 Persecute them O Lorde with thyne indignation, and roote them out from vnder the heauen.
