3:32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
3:33 For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
3:34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
3:35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
3:36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approves not.
3:37 Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord commands it not?
3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
3:39 Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
3:40 Let us search and examine our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
3:41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
3:42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned.
3:43 You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
3:44 You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
3:45 You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
3:46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
3:47 Fear and a snare has come upon us, desolation and destruction.
3:48 My eye runs down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
3:49 My eye flows down, and ceases not, without any intermission,
3:50 Till the LORD looks down, and beholds from heaven.
3:51 My eye affects my heart because of all the daughters of my city.
3:52 My enemies chased me hard, like a bird, without cause.
3:53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
3:54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.
3:55 I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
3:56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
3:57 You drew near in the day that I called upon you: you said, Fear not.
3:58 O Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
3:59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.
3:60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their plots against me.
3:61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their plots against me;
3:62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their whispering against me all the day.
3:63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
3:64 Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
3:65 Give them sorrow of heart, your curse unto them.
3:66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
