Lamentations 3:45-56 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

45. Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.

46. Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47. Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction.

48. Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49. Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest:

50. Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.

51. Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

52. Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause.

53. Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me.

54. Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.

55. Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.

56. Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries.
