49 Tears will never stop flowing from my eyes. My eyes can't get any rest.
50 I'll sob until the Lord looks down from heaven. I'll cry until he notices my tears.
51 What I see brings pain to my spirit. All of the people in my city are suffering so much.
52 Those who were my enemies for no reason at all hunted me down as if I were a bird.
53 They tried to end my life by throwing me into a deep pit. They threw stones down at me.
54 The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.
55 Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit.
