Lamentations 3:52-56 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.”
