Lamentations 3:49-57 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

49. My eyes overflow unceasingly,without end,

50. until the Lord looks downfrom heaven and sees.

51. My eyes bring me griefbecause of the fate of all the women in my city.

52. For no apparent reason, my enemies hunted me like a bird.

53. They dropped me alive into a pit and threw stones at me.

54. Water flooded over my head, and I thought: I’m going to die!

55. I called on Your name, Yahweh,from the depths of the Pit.

56. You hear my plea:Do not ignore my cry for relief.

57. You come near when I call on You;You say: “Do not be afraid.”
