Lamentations 3:54-66 ▼

54 Water flowed over my head; then I said, I am cast far off.

55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the depths of the pit.

56 Thou didst hear my voice; turn not thine ear to my cry; but relieve me and save me.

57 Thou didst draw near in the day when I called upon thee; thou didst say, Fear not.

58 O LORD, thou hast pleaded my cause; thou hast saved my life.

59 O LORD, thou hast seen my affliction; thou hast judged my cause.

60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and their devices against me,

62 The lips of those who rose up against me and their devices against me all day long.

63 Behold their conduct and their behavior I do understand, because of their devices.

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

65 Give them sorrow of heart; let thy affliction pursue them.

66 Destroy them in thine anger from under thy heavens, O LORD.
