52. My enemies chased me like a bird,without cause.
53. They cut off my life in the pitand cast stones on me.
54. Waters flowed over my head;I said, “I am cut off!”
55. I called on Your name, O Lord,from the lowest pit.
56. You have heard my plea:“Do not close Your ear to my cry for help!”
57. You drew near on the day I called on You,and You said, “Do not fear!”
58. O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul;You have redeemed my life.
59. O Lord, You have seen the wrong done tome;judge my case.
60. You have seen all their vengeance,all their schemes against me.
61. You have heard their reproach, O Lord,all their schemes against me,
