3:47 panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction;
3:48 my eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
3:49 “My eyes will flow without ceasing, without respite,
3:50 until the Lord from heaven looks down and sees;
3:51 my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the maidens of my city.
3:52 “I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause;
3:53 they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me;
3:54 water closed over my head; I said, ‘I am lost.’
3:55 “I called on thy name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit;
3:56 thou didst hear my plea, ‘Do not close thine ear to my cry for help!’
3:57 Thou didst come near when I called on thee; thou didst say, ‘Do not fear!’
3:58 “Thou hast taken up my cause, O Lord, thou hast redeemed my life.
3:59 Thou hast seen the wrong done to me, O Lord; judge thou my cause.
3:60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me.
3:61 “Thou hast heard their taunts, O Lord, all their devices against me.
3:62 The lips and thoughts of my assailants are against me all the day long.
3:63 Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the burden of their songs.
3:64 “Thou wilt requite them, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
3:65 Thou wilt give them dullness of heart; thy curse will be on them.
3:66 Thou wilt pursue them in anger and destroy them from under thy heavens, O Lord.”
