Lamentations 3:51-59 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

51. I am tormented by the sightof all the daughters of my city.

52. Without cause, my enemies snared meas though I were a bird;

53. They tried to end my life in the pit,pelting me with stones.

54. The waters flowed over my head:and I said, “I am lost!”

55. I have called upon your name, O Lord,from the bottom of the pit;

56. You heard me call, “Do not let your ear be deafto my cry for help.”

57. You drew near on the day I called you;you said, “Do not fear!”

58. You pleaded my case, Lord,you redeemed my life.

59. You see, Lord, how I am wronged;do me justice!
