New Testament

Lamentations 3:49-58 American Standard Version (ASV)

49. Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

50. Till Jehovah look down, and behold from heaven.

51. Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

52. They have chased me sore like a bird, they 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 my head; I said, I am cut off.

55. I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, 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.
