Lamentations 3:52-62

52 "Enemies with no reason to be enemies hunted me down like a bird.

52 Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.

53 They threw me into a pit, then pelted me with stones.

53 They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;

54 Then the rains came and filled the pit. The water rose over my head. I said, 'It's all over.'

54 the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish.

55 "I called out your name, O God, called from the bottom of the pit.

55 I called on your name, LORD, from the depths of the pit.

56 You listened when I called out, 'Don't shut your ears! Get me out of here! Save me!'

56 You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.”

57 You came close when I called out. You said, 'It's going to be all right.'

57 You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.”

58 "You took my side, Master; you brought me back alive!

58 You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.

59 God, you saw the wrongs heaped on me. Give me my day in court!

59 LORD, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!

60 Yes, you saw their mean-minded schemes, their plots to destroy me.

60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me.

61 "You heard, God, their vicious gossip, their behind-my-back plots to ruin me.

61 LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me—

62 They never quit, these enemies of mine, dreaming up mischief, hatching out malice, day after day after day.

62 what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.
