New Living Translation (NLT)
Lamentations 3
47 We are filled with fear, for we are trapped, devastated, and ruined.”
48 Tears stream from my eyes because of the destruction of my people!
49 My tears flow endlessly; they will not stop
50 until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
51 My heart is breaking over the fate of all the women of Jerusalem.
52 My enemies, whom I have never harmed, hunted me down like a bird.
53 They threw me into a pit and dropped stones on me.
54 The water rose over my head, and I cried out, “This is the end!”
55 But I called on your name, LORD, from deep within the pit.
56 You heard me when I cried, “Listen to my pleading! Hear my cry for help!”
57 Yes, you came when I called; you told me, “Do not fear.”
