51. Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52. They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
53. They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
54. Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off.
55. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.
56. Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59. O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.
60. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
61. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their devices against me;
62. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their imagination against me all the day.
63. Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
64. Thou wilt render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
65. Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.
