44. You have covered Yourself with a cloud,That prayer should not pass through.
45. You have made us an offscouring and refuseIn the midst of the peoples.
46. All our enemiesHave opened their mouths against us.
47. Fear and a snare have come upon us,Desolation and destruction.
48. My eyes overflow with rivers of waterFor the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. My eyes flow and do not cease,Without interruption,
50. Till the Lord from heavenLooks down and sees.
51. My eyes bring suffering to my soulBecause of all the daughters of my city.
52. My enemies without causeHunted me down like a bird.
53. They silenced my life in the pitAnd threw stones at me.
54. The waters flowed over my head;I said, “I am cut off!”
55. I called on Your name, O Lord,From the lowest pit.
