New King James Version

Lamentations 3:50-64 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.

64. Repay them, O Lord,According to the work of their hands.
