Ekhah 3:55-65 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

55. I called upon Thy Shem, Hashem, out of the lowest pit.

56. Thou hast heard my voice; close not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.

57. Thou drewest near on the Yom that I called upon Thee; Thou saidst, Fear not.

58. Adonoi, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my nefesh; Thou hast redeemed my life.

59. Hashem, Thou hast seen my wrong; uphold my cause.

60. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their machsh'vot against me.

61. Thou hast heard their reproach, Hashem, and all their machsh'vot against me;

62. The whisperings of those that rose up against me, and their muttering against me kol hayom.

63. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; Ani (I) am their mocking song.

64. Render unto them a gemul (recompence), Hashem, according to the work of their hands.

65. Give them hardness of lev as thy curse unto them.
