Lamentations 3:53-62 American Standard Version (ASV)

53. They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.

54. Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

55. I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.

56. Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not.

58. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

59. O Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.

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

61. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me,

62. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
