Lamentations 3:55-66

New International Version

⁵⁵ I called on your name, Lord,
    from the depths^(A) of the pit.^(B)
56 You heard my plea:^(C) “Do not close your ears
    to my cry for relief.”
⁵⁷ You came near^(D) when I called you,
    and you said, “Do not fear.”^(E)

⁵⁸ You, Lord, took up my case;^(F)
    you redeemed my life.^(G)
59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me.^(H)
    Uphold my cause!^(I)
60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance,
    all their plots against me.^(J)

⁶¹ Lord, you have heard their insults,^(K)
    all their plots against me—
⁶² what my enemies whisper and mutter
    against me all day long.^(L)
63 Look at them! Sitting or standing,
    they mock me in their songs.^(M)

⁶⁴ Pay them back what they deserve, Lord,
    for what their hands have done.^(N)
65 Put a veil over their hearts,^(O)
    and may your curse be on them!
⁶⁶ Pursue^(P) them in anger and destroy them
    from under the heavens of the Lord.
