Lamentations
Chapters 3:52-58
Revised Version 1885
52They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
54Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off.
55I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.
56Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
