Verse
Lamentations - ch 3 v 41 - 60
- Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.
- We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.
- Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;
- Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.
- You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.
- The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.
- Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction.
- Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
- My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest,
- Till the Lord's eye is turned on me, till he sees my trouble from heaven.
- The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.
- They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;
- They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.
- Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off.
- I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison.
- My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry.
- You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear.
- O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.
- O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.
- You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.
