48. My eyes stream with tears over the destructionof the daughter of my people.
49. My eyes will flow without ceasing,without rest,
50. Until the Lord from heavenlooks down and sees.
51. I am tormented by the sightof all the daughters of my city.
52. Without cause, my enemies snared meas though I were a bird;
53. They tried to end my life in the pit,pelting me with stones.
54. The waters flowed over my head:and I said, “I am lost!”
55. I have called upon your name, O Lord,from the bottom of the pit;
56. You heard me call, “Do not let your ear be deafto my cry for help.”
57. You drew near on the day I called you;you said, “Do not fear!”
58. You pleaded my case, Lord,you redeemed my life.
