44. You shrouded Yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.
45. You have made us scum and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46. All our enemies opened their mouth wide against us.
47. Panic and pitfall have befallen us, devastation and destruction.
48. Streams of tears run down my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. My eye flows unceasingly, without stopping,
50. until Adonai looks down from heaven and sees.
51. My eye torments my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52. For no reason, my enemies hunted me down like a bird.
53. They cut off my life in the Pit, and cast stones upon me.
54. Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I have been cut off!”
55. I called on Your Name, Adonai, from the depths of the Pit.
56. You heard my voice, “Do not close Your ears to my cry for relief.”
57. You drew near on the day I called to You. You said, “Do not fear!”
58. Lord, You pled my soul’s case, You redeemed my life.
59. Adonai, You saw the wrong done to me; judge my cause!
60. You have seen all their vengefulness, all their schemes against me.
61. You heard their taunt, Adonai, all their plots against me.
62. The lips of my assailants and their whispering are against me all day long.
63. Look at them, sitting or standing, they mock me in their song.
