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.
