Lamentations 3 Verses
1
|
I am one who has seen affliction under the rod of God's wrath; |
2
|
he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; |
3
|
against me alone he turns his hand, again and again, all day long. |
4
|
He has made my flesh and my skin waste away, and broken my bones; |
5
|
he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation; |
6
|
he has made me sit in darkness like the dead of long ago. |
7
|
He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has put heavy chains on me; |
8
|
though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer; |
9
|
he has blocked my ways with hewn stones, he has made my paths crooked. |
10
|
He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding; |
11
|
he led me off my way and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate; |
12
|
he bent his bow and set me as a mark for his arrow. |
13
|
He shot into my vitals the arrows of his quiver; |
14
|
I have become the laughingstock of all my people, the object of their taunt-songs all day long. |
15
|
He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood. |
16
|
He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes; |
17
|
my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is; |
18
|
so I say, "Gone is my glory, and all that I had hoped for from the LORD." |
19
|
The thought of my affliction and my homelessness is wormwood and gall! |
20
|
My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me. |
21
|
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: |
22
|
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; |
23
|
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. |
24
|
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." |
25
|
The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. |
26
|
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. |
27
|
It is good for one to bear the yoke in youth, |
28
|
to sit alone in silence when the Lord has imposed it, |
29
|
to put one's mouth to the dust (there may yet be hope), |
30
|
to give one's cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults. |
31
|
For the Lord will not reject forever. |
32
|
Although he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; |
33
|
for he does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone. |
34
|
When all the prisoners of the land are crushed under foot, |
35
|
when human rights are perverted in the presence of the Most High, |
36
|
when one's case is subverted-- does the Lord not see it? |
37
|
Who can command and have it done, if the Lord has not ordained it? |
38
|
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come? |
39
|
Why should any who draw breath complain about the punishment of their sins? |
40
|
Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD. |
41
|
Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to God in heaven. |
42
|
We have transgressed and rebelled, and you have not forgiven. |
43
|
You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us, killing without pity; |
44
|
you have wrapped yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through. |
45
|
You have made us filth and rubbish among the peoples. |
46
|
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us; |
47
|
panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction. |
48
|
My eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of my people. |
49
|
My eyes will flow without ceasing, without respite, |
50
|
until the LORD from heaven looks down and sees. |
51
|
My eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the young women in my city. |
52
|
Those who were my enemies without cause have hunted me like a bird; |
53
|
they flung me alive into a pit and hurled stones on me; |
54
|
water closed over my head; I said, "I am lost." |
55
|
I called on your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit; |
56
|
you heard my plea, "Do not close your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!" |
57
|
You came near when I called on you; you said, "Do not fear!" |
58
|
You have taken up my cause, O Lord, you have redeemed my life. |
59
|
You have seen the wrong done to me, O LORD; judge my cause. |
60
|
You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me. |
61
|
You have heard their taunts, O LORD, all their plots against me. |
62
|
The whispers and murmurs of my assailants are against me all day long. |
63
|
Whether they sit or rise-- see, I am the object of their taunt-songs. |
64
|
Pay them back for their deeds, O LORD, according to the work of their hands! |
65
|
Give them anguish of heart; your curse be on them! |
66
|
Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the LORD's heavens. |
