Lamentations 3:50-56 Amplified Bible (AMP)

50. Until the Lord looks down and sees from heaven.

51. My eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the maidens [and the daughter-towns] of my city [Jerusalem].

52. I have been hunted down like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause.

53. They [thought they had] destroyed my life in the dungeon (pit) and cast a stone [over it] above me. [Jer. 38.]

54. The waters ran down on my head; I said, I am gone.

55. I called upon Your name, O Lord, out of the depths [of the mire] of the dungeon. [Jer. 38:6.]

56. You heard my voice [then]: [Oh] hide not Your ear [now] at my prayer for relief.
