The King James Version Bible

Lamentations 3:55-65

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  10. Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

  11. Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
