Lamentations 3:45-58 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

45. You have made us mere offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.

46. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47. Panic and pitfall have befallen us, Devastation and destruction;

48. My eyes run down with streams of water Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49. My eyes pour down unceasingly, Without stopping,

50. Until the Lord looks down And sees from heaven.

51. My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

52. My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird;

53. They have silenced me in the pit And have placed a stone on me.

54. Waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!"

55. I called on Your name, O Lord, Out of the lowest pit.

56. You have heard my voice, "Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help."

57. You drew near when I called on You; You said, "Do not fear!"

58. O Lord, You have pleaded my soul's cause; You have redeemed my life.
