Lamentations 3:49-60 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

57. Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not.

58. Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.

59. Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment.

60. Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me.
