48. Streams of water run down my eye For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
49. My eye flows out and does not cease, Without stopping,
50. Until יהוה looks down and sees from the heavens.
51. My eye pains my being Because of all the daughters of my city.
52. My enemies hunted me down Like a bird, without cause.
53. They have cut off my life in the pit, And they threw stones at me.
54. Waters flowed over my head; I said, “I am cut off!”
55. I called on Your Name, O יהוה, from the lowest pit.
56. You have heard my voice, Do not hide Your ear from my groaning, From my outcry!
57. You drew near on the day I called on You; You said, “Do not fear!”
58. O יהוה, You did plead the case for my being; You have redeemed my life.
59. O יהוה, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case.
60. You have seen all their vengeance, All their plans against me.
61. You have heard their reproach, O יהוה, all their plans against me,
62. The lips of those rising against me, And their scheming against me all the day.
63. Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their song.
64. Repay them, O יהוה, According to the work of their hands.
