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.
57. You drew near on the day I called to You; You said, Fear not. [James 4:8.]
58. O Lord, You have pleaded the causes of my soul [You have managed my affairs and You have protected my person and my rights]; You have rescued and redeemed my life!
59. O Lord, You have seen my wrong [done to me]; judge and maintain my cause.
60. You have seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me.
