Lamentations 3:56-66

56 My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry.

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

57 You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear.

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

58 O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.

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

59 O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.

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

60 You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.

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

61 Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;

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

62 The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day.

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

63 Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song.

63 Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.

64 You will give them their reward, O Lord, answering to the work of their hands.

64 Pay them back what they deserve, LORD, for what their hands have done.

65 You will let their hearts be covered over with your curse on them.

65 Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them!

66 You will go after them in wrath, and put an end to them from under the heavens of the Lord.

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
