Lamentations 3:53-66 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

59. O Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, and all their devices against me,

62. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device 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 recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.

65. Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.

66. Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
