Lamentations 3 Verses
1
|
I am a man who has seen much trouble. The Lord beat us with a stick, and I saw it happen. |
2
|
He led and brought me into darkness, not light. |
3
|
He turned his hand against me. He did this again and again, all day. |
4
|
He wore out my flesh and skin. He broke my bones. |
5
|
He built up bitterness and trouble against me. He surrounded me with bitterness and trouble. |
6
|
He put me in the dark, like someone who died long ago. |
7
|
He shut me in, so I could not get out. He put heavy chains on me. |
8
|
Even when I cry out and ask for help, he does not listen to my prayer. |
9
|
He has blocked up my path with stones. He has made my path crooked. |
10
|
He is like a bear about to attack me, like a lion that is in a hiding place. |
11
|
He led me off my path. He tore me to pieces and ruined me. |
12
|
He made his bow ready. He made me the target for his arrows. |
13
|
He shot me in the stomach with his arrows. |
14
|
I have become a joke to all my people. All day long they sing songs about me and make fun of me. |
15
|
The Lord gave me this poison to drink. He filled me with this bitter drink. |
16
|
He pushed my teeth into rocky ground. He pushed me into the dirt. |
17
|
I thought I would never have peace again. I forgot about good things. |
18
|
I said to myself, "I no longer have any hope that the Lord will help me." |
19
|
Lord, remember, I am very sad, and I have no home. Remember the bitter poison that you gave me. |
20
|
I remember well all my troubles, and I am very sad. |
21
|
But then I think about this, and I have hope: |
22
|
We are still alive because the Lord's faithful love never ends. |
23
|
Every morning he shows it in new ways! Lord, you are so very true and loyal! |
24
|
I say to myself, "The Lord is my God, and I trust him." |
25
|
The Lord is good to those who wait for him. He is good to those who look for him. |
26
|
It is good to wait quietly for the Lord to save them. |
27
|
It is good for a man to wear his yoke from the time he is young. |
28
|
He should sit alone and be quiet when the Lord puts his yoke on him. |
29
|
He should bow down to the Lord. Maybe there is still hope. |
30
|
He should turn his cheek to the one who hits him and let people insult him. |
31
|
He should remember that the Lord does not reject people forever. |
32
|
When the Lord punishes, he also has mercy. He has mercy because of his great love and kindness. |
33
|
The Lord does not enjoy causing people pain. He does not like to make anyone unhappy. |
34
|
He does not like any prisoner on earth to be trampled down. |
35
|
He does not like anyone to be unfair to another person. Some people will do such things right in front of God Most High. |
36
|
He does not like anyone to cheat another person. He does not like any of these things. |
37
|
No one can say something and make it happen, unless the Lord orders it. |
38
|
God Most High commands both good and bad things to happen. |
39
|
No one alive can complain when the Lord punishes them for their sins. |
40
|
Let us check and see what we have done. Then let us turn back to the Lord. |
41
|
Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to the God of heaven. |
42
|
Let us say to him, "We have sinned and have been stubborn. Because of this, you have not forgiven us. |
43
|
You wrapped yourself with anger. You chased us. You killed us without mercy! |
44
|
You wrapped yourself in a cloud. You did that so that no prayer could get through. |
45
|
You made us like garbage and dirt to the other nations. |
46
|
All of our enemies speak angrily against us. |
47
|
We have been frightened. We have fallen into a pit. We have been badly hurt. We have been broken." |
48
|
My eyes flow with streams of tears. I cry because of the destruction of my people. |
49
|
My eyes will flow without stopping. I will keep on crying. |
50
|
I will continue to cry until you look down and see us, Lord! I will continue to cry until you see us from heaven. |
51
|
My eyes make me sad, when I see what happened to the young women in my city. |
52
|
For no reason, my enemies hunted me like a bird. |
53
|
They threw me alive into a pit and then threw stones at me. |
54
|
Water came up over my head. I said to myself, "I am finished." |
55
|
Lord, I called your name from the bottom of the pit. |
56
|
You heard my voice. You didn't close your ears. You didn't refuse to rescue me. |
57
|
You came to me on the day that I called out to you. You said to me, "Don't be afraid." |
58
|
You defended me and bought me back to life. |
59
|
Lord, you have seen my trouble. Now judge my case for me. |
60
|
You have seen how my enemies have hurt me. You have seen all the evil plans that they made against me. |
61
|
You heard them insult me, Lord. You have heard all the evil plans that they made against me. |
62
|
The words and the thoughts of my enemies are against me all the time— |
63
|
when they sit down and when they stand up. Look how they make fun of me! |
64
|
Give them back what they deserve, Lord. Pay them back for what they have done. |
65
|
Make them stubborn and then curse them. |
66
|
Chase them in anger and destroy them. Wipe them off the face of the earth, Lord! |
