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.”
