Ekhah 3:52-60 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

52. Mine enemies hunted me down, like a tzippor (bird), without cause.

53. They have cut off my life in the bor (pit) and cast an even (stone) upon me.

54. Mayim flowed over mine rosh; then I said, I am cut off.

55. I called upon Thy Shem, Hashem, out of the lowest pit.

56. Thou hast heard my voice; close not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.

57. Thou drewest near on the Yom that I called upon Thee; Thou saidst, Fear not.

58. Adonoi, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my nefesh; Thou hast redeemed my life.

59. Hashem, Thou hast seen my wrong; uphold my cause.

60. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their machsh'vot against me.
