40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42. We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.
43. Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46. all our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47. Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction.
48. Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50. Till the LORD 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, 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 mine head; I said, I am cut off.
55. I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
