52 No one had reason to hate me,but I was hunted downlike a bird.
53 Then they tried to kill meby tossing me into a pitand throwing stones at me.
54 Water covered my head—I thought I was gone.
55 From the bottom of the pit,I prayed to you, Lord.
56 I begged you to listen.“Help!” I shouted. “Save me!”You answered my prayer
57 and came when I was in need.You told me, “Don't worry!”
58 You rescued meand saved my life.
