3:32 But though he causes grief, yet he will also have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
3:33 For he does not afflict nor grieve the sons of men from his heart.
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 does not approve.
3:37 Mem Who shall he be that saith that something comes which the Lord has not sent?
3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
3:39 Why does the living man have pain, the man in his sins?
3:40 Let us search out our ways, and seek, 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 rebelled and been disloyal; therefore thou hast not forgiven.
3:43 Thou hast unfurled anger and persecuted us; thou hast slain, thou hast not forgiven.
3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud that our prayer should not pass through.
3:45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and abomination in the midst of the peoples.
3:46 All our enemies have opened their mouths upon us.
3:47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
3:48 My eyes stream with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
3:49 My eyes run down, and cease not, for there is no relief,
3:50 Until the LORD looks down, and beholds from the heavens.
3:51 My eyes make my soul sad because of all the daughters of my city.
3:52 My enemies hunted me like a bird, without cause.
3:53 They bound up my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
3:54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am dead.
3:55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
3:56 Thou hast heard my voice; do not hide thine ear at my cry that I might breath.
3:57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou didst say, Fear not.
3:58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
3:59 O LORD, thou hast seen where I was wrong; plead thou my cause.
3:60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
3:61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
3:62 The words of those that rose up against me, and their design 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; thy curse unto them.
3:66 Persecute them in thy anger and cut them off from under the heavens, oh LORD.
