New King James Version

Lamentations 3:49-58 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.
