47. Fear and a pit have come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48. Channels of water run down my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. My eyes have poured down unceasingly without respite,
50. until Yahweh looks down and sees from heaven.
51. My eyes inflict my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52. My enemies hunt me without cause, like a bird.
53. They have silenced me in a pit, they have thrown a stone at me.
54. Water has flown over my head, I said, “I am cut off.”
55. I have called your name, O Yahweh, from the depths of the pit.
56. You have heard my cry, “Do not shut your ear to my cry for help, for my relief!”
57. You came near on a day when I called you, you said, “Do not fear!”
