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.
56. You have heard my voice:“Do not hide Your earFrom my sighing, from my cry for help.”
57. You drew near on the day I called on You,And said, “Do not fear!”
58. O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul;You have redeemed my life.
59. O Lord, You have seen how I am wronged;Judge my case.
60. You have seen all their vengeance,All their schemes against me.
61. You have heard their reproach, O Lord,All their schemes against me,
62. The lips of my enemiesAnd their whispering against me all the day.
63. Look at their sitting down and their rising up;I am their taunting song.
