51. My eyes bring suffering to my soulBecause of all the daughters of my city.
52. My enemies without causeHunted me down like a bird.
53. They silenced my life in the pitAnd 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 earFrom 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 enemiesAnd their whispering against me all the day.
