Lamentations 3:57-65 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

57. You came near when I called out to you. You said, "Do not be afraid."

58. Lord, you stood up for me in court. You saved my life and set me free.

59. Lord, you have seen the wrong things people have done to me. Stand up for me again!

60. You have seen how my enemies have tried to get even with me. You know all about their plans against me.

61. Lord, you have heard them laugh at me. You know all about their plans against me.

62. You have heard my enemies whispering among themselves. They speak against me all day long.

63. Just look at them sitting and standing there! They sing and make fun of me.

64. Lord, pay them back. Punish them for what their hands have done.

65. Cover their minds with a veil. Put a curse on them!
