Lamentations 3:53 · BSB
The verses around it, from Lamentations 3.
49 My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
50 until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
51 My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
53 They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
54 The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
55 I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
56 You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
57 You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
