Lamentations 3:50-60 New Century Version (NCV)

50. until the Lord looks downand sees from heaven.

51. I am sad when I seewhat has happened to all the women of my city.

52. Those who are my enemies for no reasonhunted me like a bird.

53. They tried to kill me in a pit;they threw stones at me.

54. Water came up over my head,and I said, “I am going to die.”

55. I called out to you, Lord,from the bottom of the pit.

56. You heard me calling, “Do not close your earsand ignore my gasps and shouts.”

57. You came near when I called to you;you said, “Don’t be afraid.”

58. Lord, you have taken my caseand given me back my life.

59. Lord, you have seen how I have been wronged.Now judge my case for me.

60. You have seen how my enemies took revenge on meand made evil plans against me.
