Lamentations 3:55-66 ▼

55 I called on Your name, O Yahweh, Out of the lowest pit.

56 You have heard my voice, “Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help.”

57 You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not fear!”

58 O Lord, You have pleaded my soul’s cause; You have redeemed my life.

59 O Yahweh, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case.

60 You have seen all their vengeance, All their purposes against me.

61 You have heard their reproach, O Yahweh, All their purposes against me.

62 The lips of those who rise against me and their whispering Are against me all day long.

63 Look on their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song.

64 You will recompense them, O Yahweh, According to the work of their hands.

65 You will give them dullness of heart; Your curse will be on them.

66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them From under the heavens of Yahweh!
