44. Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.
45. Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.
46. Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.
47. Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.
48. Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,
50. Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,
51. My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.
52. Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.
53. They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.
54. Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.
55. I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.
56. My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing--at my cry.
57. Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.
