The King James Version Bible

Lamentations 3:53-63

  1. They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

  2. Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

  3. I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

  4. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

  5. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

  6. O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

  7. O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

  8. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

  9. Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;

  10. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

  11. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
