49. My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief,
50. until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.
51. What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.
52. Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.
53. They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;
54. the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish.
55. I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.
56. You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.”
57. You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.”
