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.
