Lamentations 3

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 I [am] the man [who] hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.

2 Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without light.

3 Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.

4 He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.

5 He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.

6 In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.

7 He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

8 Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.

9 He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.

10 A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

11 My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.

12 He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.

13 He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.

14 I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.

15 He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.

16 And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.

17 And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.

18 And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.

19 Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!

20 Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.

21 This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope.

22 The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies.

23 New every morning, abundant [is] thy faithfulness.

24 My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.

25 Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul [that] seeketh Him.

26 Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

27 Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.

28 He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.

29 He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.

30 He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

31 For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.

32 For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.

33 For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

34 To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth,

35 To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,

36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.

37 Who [is] this -- he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord hath not commanded [it]?

38 From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and the good.

39 What -- sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?

40 We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.

41 We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.

42 We -- we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou -- Thou hast not forgiven.

43 Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain -- Thou hast not pitied.

44 Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.

45 Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.

46 Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.

47 Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.

48 Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49 Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,

50 Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,

51 My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.

52 Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.

53 They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.

54 Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.

55 I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.

56 My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing -- at my cry.

57 Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.

58 Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou hast redeemed my life.

59 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.

60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of me.

61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their thoughts against me,

62 The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against me all the day.

63 Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold attentively, I [am] their song.

64 Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.

65 Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them.

66 Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!

New King James Version NKJV

1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.

2 He has led me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.

3 Surely He has turned His hand against me Time and time again throughout the day.

4 He has aged my flesh and my skin, And broken my bones.

5 He has besieged me And surrounded me with bitterness and woe.

6 He has set me in dark places Like the dead of long ago.

7 He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out; He has made my chain heavy.

8 Even when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.

9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.

10 He has been to me a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in ambush.

11 He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces; He has made me desolate.

12 He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.

13 He has caused the arrows of His quiver To pierce my loins.

14 I have become the ridicule of all my people-- Their taunting song all the day.

15 He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood.

16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes.

17 You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.

18 And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished from the Lord."

19 Remember my affliction and roaming, The wormwood and the gall.

20 My soul still remembers And sinks within me.

21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

22 Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

24 "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.

27 It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.

28 Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;

29 Let him put his mouth in the dust-- There may yet be hope.

30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach.

31 For the Lord will not cast off forever.

32 Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.

33 For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.

34 To crush under one's feet All the prisoners of the earth,

35 To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High,

36 Or subvert a man in his cause-- The Lord does not approve.

37 Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?

38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed?

39 Why should a living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins?

40 Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord;

41 Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.

42 We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.

43 You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.

44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud, That prayer should not pass through.

45 You have made us an offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.

46 All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.

47 Fear and a snare have come upon us, Desolation and destruction.

48 My eyes overflow with rivers of water For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49 My eyes flow and do not cease, Without interruption,

50 Till the Lord from heaven Looks down and sees.

51 My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

52 My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird.

53 They silenced my life in the pit And threw stones at me.

54 The waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!"

55 I called on Your name, O Lord, From the lowest pit.

56 You have heard my voice: "Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help."

57 You drew near on the day I called on You, And said, "Do not fear!"

58 O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.

59 O Lord, You have seen how I am wronged; Judge my case.

60 You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.

61 You have heard their reproach, O Lord, All their schemes against me,

62 The lips of my enemies And their whispering against me all the day.

63 Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.

64 Repay them, O Lord, According to the work of their hands.

65 Give them a veiled heart; Your curse be upon them!

66 In Your anger, Pursue and destroy them From under the heavens of the Lord.
