Lamentations 3 Verses
1
|
I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his wrath; |
2
|
he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; |
3
|
surely against me he turns his hand again and again the whole 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 dwell 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 to me like a bear lying in wait, like 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 drove into my heart the arrows of his quiver; |
14
|
I have become the laughingstock of all peoples, the burden of their 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 my expectation from the LORD." |
19
|
Remember my affliction and my bitterness, the wormwood and the 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 thy 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 a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. |
28
|
Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him; |
29
|
let him put his mouth in the dust -- there may yet be hope; |
30
|
let him give his cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults. |
31
|
For the Lord will not cast off for ever, |
32
|
but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; |
33
|
for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men. |
34
|
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth, |
35
|
to turn aside the right of a man in the presence of the Most High, |
36
|
to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve. |
37
|
Who has commanded and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it? |
38
|
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and evil come? |
39
|
Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins? |
40
|
Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD! |
41
|
Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven: |
42
|
"We have transgressed and rebelled, and thou hast not forgiven. |
43
|
"Thou hast wrapped thyself with anger and pursued us, slaying without pity; |
44
|
thou hast wrapped thyself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through. |
45
|
Thou hast made us offscouring and refuse among the peoples. |
46
|
"All our enemies rail 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 the daughter 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 maidens of my city. |
52
|
"I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause; |
53
|
they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me; |
54
|
water closed over my head; I said, `I am lost.' |
55
|
"I called on thy name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit; |
56
|
thou didst hear my plea, `Do not close thine ear to my cry for help!' |
57
|
Thou didst come near when I called on thee; thou didst say, `Do not fear!' |
58
|
"Thou hast taken up my cause, O Lord, thou hast redeemed my life. |
59
|
Thou hast seen the wrong done to me, O LORD; judge thou my cause. |
60
|
Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me. |
61
|
"Thou hast heard their taunts, O LORD, all their devices against me. |
62
|
The lips and thoughts of my assailants are against me all the day long. |
63
|
Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the burden of their songs. |
64
|
"Thou wilt requite them, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. |
65
|
Thou wilt give them dullness of heart; thy curse will be on them. |
66
|
Thou wilt pursue them in anger and destroy them from under thy heavens, O LORD." |
