Lamentations 3 Verses
1
|
I am a man who has suffered greatly. The Lord has used the Babylonians to punish our people. |
2
|
He has driven me away. He has made me walk in darkness instead of light. |
3
|
He has turned his powerful hand against me. He has done it again and again, all day long. |
4
|
He has worn my body out. He has broken my bones. |
5
|
He has surrounded me and attacked me. He has made me suffer bitterly. He has made things hard for me. |
6
|
He has made me live in darkness like those who are dead and gone. |
7
|
He has built walls around me. I can't escape. He has put heavy chains on me. |
8
|
I call out and cry for help. But he won't listen to me when I pray. |
9
|
He has put up a stone wall to block my way. He has made my paths crooked. |
10
|
He has been like a bear waiting to attack me. He has been like a lion hiding in the bushes. |
11
|
He has dragged me off the path. He has torn me to pieces. And he has left me helpless. |
12
|
He has gotten his bow ready to use. He has shot his arrows at me. |
13
|
The arrows from his bag have gone through my heart. |
14
|
My people laugh at me all the time. They sing and make fun of me all day long. |
15
|
The Lord has made my life bitter. He has made me suffer bitterly. |
16
|
He made me chew stones that broke my teeth. He has walked all over me in the dust. |
17
|
I have lost all hope of ever having any peace. I've forgotten what good times are like. |
18
|
So I say, "My glory has faded away. My hope in the Lord is gone." |
19
|
I remember how I suffered and wandered. I remember how bitter my life was. |
20
|
I remember it very well. My spirit is very sad deep down inside me. |
21
|
But here is something else I remember. And it gives me hope. |
22
|
The Lord loves us very much. So we haven't been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails. |
23
|
His great love is new every morning. Lord, how faithful you are! |
24
|
I say to myself, "The Lord is everything I will ever need. So I will put my hope in him." |
25
|
The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him. He is good to those who look to him. |
26
|
It is good when people wait quietly for the Lord to save them. |
27
|
It is good for a man to carry a heavy load of suffering while he is young. |
28
|
Let him sit alone and not say anything. The Lord has placed that load on him. |
29
|
Let him bury his face in the dust. There might still be hope for him. |
30
|
Let him turn his cheek toward those who would slap him. Let him be filled with shame. |
31
|
The Lord doesn't turn his back on people forever. |
32
|
He might bring suffering. But he will also show loving concern. How great his faithful love is! |
33
|
He doesn't want to bring pain or suffering to people. |
34
|
Every time people crush prisoners under their feet, the Lord knows all about it. |
35
|
When people refuse to give a man his rights, the Most High God knows it. |
36
|
When people don't treat a man fairly, the Lord knows it. |
37
|
Suppose people order something to happen. It won't happen unless the Lord has planned it. |
38
|
Troubles and good things alike come to people because the Most High God has commanded them to come. |
39
|
A man who is still alive shouldn't blame God when God punishes him for his sins. |
40
|
Let's take a good look at the way we're living. Let's return to the Lord. |
41
|
Let's lift up our hands to God in heaven. Let's pray to him with all our hearts. |
42
|
Let's say, "We have sinned. We've refused to obey you. And you haven't forgiven us. |
43
|
"You have covered yourself with the cloud of your anger. You have chased us. You have killed our people without pity. |
44
|
You have covered yourself with the cloud of your anger. Our prayers can't get through to you. |
45
|
You have made us become like trash and garbage among the nations. |
46
|
"All of our enemies have opened their mouths wide to swallow us up. |
47
|
We are terrified and trapped. We are broken and destroyed." |
48
|
Streams of tears flow from my eyes. That's because my people are destroyed. |
49
|
Tears will never stop flowing from my eyes. My eyes can't get any rest. |
50
|
I'll sob until the Lord looks down from heaven. I'll cry until he notices my tears. |
51
|
What I see brings pain to my spirit. All of the people in my city are suffering so much. |
52
|
Those who were my enemies for no reason at all hunted me down as if I were a bird. |
53
|
They tried to end my life by throwing me into a deep pit. They threw stones down at me. |
54
|
The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die. |
55
|
Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit. |
56
|
I prayed, "Please don't close your ears to my cry for help." And you heard my appeal. |
57
|
You came near when I called out to you. You said, "Do not be afraid." |
58
|
Lord, you stood up for me in court. You saved my life and set me free. |
59
|
Lord, you have seen the wrong things people have done to me. Stand up for me again! |
60
|
You have seen how my enemies have tried to get even with me. You know all about their plans against me. |
61
|
Lord, you have heard them laugh at me. You know all about their plans against me. |
62
|
You have heard my enemies whispering among themselves. They speak against me all day long. |
63
|
Just look at them sitting and standing there! They sing and make fun of me. |
64
|
Lord, pay them back. Punish them for what their hands have done. |
65
|
Cover their minds with a veil. Put a curse on them! |
66
|
Lord, get angry with them and hunt them down. Wipe them off the face of the earth. |
