Lamentations 3:54-65 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

54. Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off.

55. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.

56. Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

58. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

59. O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.

60. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.

61. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their devices against me;

62. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their imagination against me all the day.

63. Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.

64. Thou wilt render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.

65. Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.
