Lamentations

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.
