49. My eyes flow and don’t stop. There is no relief
50. until the Lord looks down from the heavens and notices.
51. My eyes hurt me because of what’s happened to my city’s daughters.
52. My enemies hunted me down like a bird, relentlessly, for no reason.
53. They caught me alive in a pit and threw stones at me;
54. water flowed over my head. I thought: I’m finished.
55. I call on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.
56. Hear my voice. Don’t close your ear to my need for relief, to my cry for help.
