46. “All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47. Terror and the pit have come on us,devastation and destruction.”
48. My eye runs down with streams of water,for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49. My eye pours downand doesn’t cease,without any intermission,
50. until the Lord looks down,and sees from heaven.
51. My eye affects my soul,because of all the daughters of my city.
52. They have chased me relentlessly like a bird,those who are my enemies without cause.
53. They have cut off my life in the dungeon,and have cast a stone on me.
54. Waters flowed over my head.I said, “I am cut off.”
55. I called on your name, Lord,out of the lowest dungeon.
56. You heard my voice:“Don’t hide your ear from my sighing,and my cry.”
57. You came near in the day that I called on you.You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
