Lamentations 3:50-63
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

50Until the Lord looks down And sees from heaven. 51My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city. 52My enemies without reason Hunted me down like a bird; 53They have silenced me in the pit And have thrown stones on me. 54Waters flowed over my head; I said, 'I am cut off!' 55I called on Your name, Lord, Out of the lowest pit. 56You have heard my voice, 'Do not cover Your ear from my plea for relief, From my cry for help.' 57You came near on the day I called to You; You said, 'Do not fear!' 58Lord, You have pleaded my soul’s cause; You have redeemed my life. 59Lord, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case. 60You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me. 61You have heard their reproach, Lord, All their schemes against me. 62The lips of my assailants and their talk Are against me all day long. 63Look at their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song.
King James Version

Chapter 3

50Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city. 52Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. 55I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56Thou hast heard 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.
59O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 61Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
62The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 3

50until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees. 51My eyes bring me grief because of the fate of all the women in my city. 52For no reason, my enemies hunted me like a bird. 53They smothered my life in a pit and threw stones on me. 54Water flooded over my head, and I thought, "I’m going to die!" 55I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit. 56You heard my plea: Do not ignore my cry for relief. 57You came near whenever I called you; you said, "Do not be afraid." 58You championed my cause, Lord; you redeemed my life. 59 Lord, you saw the wrong done to me; judge my case. 60You saw all their vengefulness, all their plots against me. 61 Lord, you heard their insults, all their plots against me. 62The slander and murmuring of my opponents attack me all day long. 63When they sit and when they rise, look, I am mocked by their songs.
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

50until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees. 51My heart is breaking over the fate of all the women of Jerusalem.
52My enemies, whom I have never harmed, hunted me down like a bird. 53They threw me into a pit and dropped stones on me. 54The water rose over my head, and I cried out, 'This is the end!'
55But I called on your name, Lord, from deep within the pit. 56You heard me when I cried, 'Listen to my pleading! Hear my cry for help!' 57Yes, you came when I called; you told me, 'Do not fear.'
58Lord, you have come to my defense; you have redeemed my life. 59You have seen the wrong they have done to me, Lord. Be my judge, and prove me right. 60You have seen the vengeful plots my enemies have laid against me.
61Lord, you have heard the vile names they call me. You know all about the plans they have made. 62My enemies whisper and mutter as they plot against me all day long. 63Look at them! Whether they sit or stand, I am the object of their mocking songs.
English Standard Version

Chapter 3

50 until the Lord from heaven looks down and sees; 51my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the daughters of my city. 52 "I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause; 53 they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me; 54 water closed over my head; I said, ‘I am lost.’ 55 "I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit; 56 you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear to my cry for help!’ 57 You came near when I called on you; you said, ‘Do not fear!’ 58"You have taken up my cause, O Lord; you have redeemed my life. 59You have seen the wrong done to me, O Lord; judge my cause. 60You have seen all their vengeance, all their plots against me. 61 "You have heard their taunts, O Lord, all their plots against me. 62The lips and thoughts of my assailants are against me all the day long. 63 Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the object of their taunts.
New International Version

Chapter 3

50until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.
51What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city. 52Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird. 53They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;
54the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish. 55I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit. 56You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief."
57You came near when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear." 58You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life. 59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!
60You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me. 61 Lord, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me— 62what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.
63Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.
New King James Version

Chapter 3

50Till the Lord from heaven Looks down and sees. 51My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city. 52My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird. 53They silenced my life in the pit And threw stones at me. 54 The waters flowed over my head; I said, “I am cut off!” 55 I called on Your name, O Lord, From the lowest pit. 56 You have heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help.” 57You drew near on the day I called on You, And said, “Do not fear!” 58O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life. 59O Lord, You have seen how I am wronged; Judge my case. 60You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me. 61You have heard their reproach, O Lord, All their schemes against me, 62The lips of my enemies And their whispering against me all the day. 63Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.
