48. My people are destroyed!Tears flood my eyes,
49. and they won't stop
50. until the Lord looks downfrom heaven and helps.
51. I am horrified when I seewhat enemies have doneto the young women of our city.
52. No one had reason to hate me,but I was hunted downlike a bird.
53. Then they tried to kill meby tossing me into a pitand throwing stones at me.
54. Water covered my head—I thought I was gone.
