Lamentations 3:54-66

⁵⁴The waters flowed over my head,

and I thought I was going to die.

⁵⁵I called on Your name, O LORD,

out of the depths of the Pit.

⁵⁶You heard my plea:

“Do not ignore my cry for relief.”

⁵⁷You drew near when I called on You;

You said, “Do not be afraid.”

⁵⁸You defend my cause, O Lord;

You redeem my life.

⁵⁹You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me;

vindicate my cause!

⁶⁰You have seen all their malice,

all their plots against me.

⁶¹O LORD, You have heard their insults,

all their plots against me —

⁶²the slander and murmuring of my assailants

against me all day long.

⁶³When they sit and when they rise,

see how they mock me in song.

⁶⁴You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD,

according to the work of their hands.

⁶⁵Put a veil of anguish over their hearts;

may Your curse be upon them!

⁶⁶You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them

from under Your heavens, O LORD.
