53. They cut off my life in the Pit, and cast stones upon me.
54. Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I have been cut off!”
55. I called on Your Name, Adonai, from the depths of the Pit.
56. You heard my voice, “Do not close Your ears to my cry for relief.”
57. You drew near on the day I called to You. You said, “Do not fear!”
58. Lord, You pled my soul’s case, You redeemed my life.
59. Adonai, You saw the wrong done to me; judge my cause!
60. You have seen all their vengefulness, all their schemes against me.
61. You heard their taunt, Adonai, all their plots against me.
62. The lips of my assailants and their whispering are against me all day long.
63. Look at them, sitting or standing, they mock me in their song.
64. Pay them back what they deserve, Adonai, according to the work of their hands.
65. Give them a distraught heart. May Your curse be on them.
66. Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of Adonai.
