Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through (3:44)

Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people (3:45)

All our enemies have opened their mouths against us (3:46)

Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction (3:47)

Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people (3:48)

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, (3:49)

Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven (3:50)

Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city (3:51)

Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause (3:52)

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me (3:53)

Waters flowed over mine head; [then] I said, I am cut off (3:54)

I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon (3:55)

Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry (3:56)

Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not (3:57)

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life (3:58)

O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause (3:59)

Thou hast seen all their vengeance [and] all their imaginations against me (3:60)

Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, [and] all their imaginations against me; (3:61)

The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day (3:62)

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I [am] their music (3:63)

Render unto them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of their hands (3:64)

Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them (3:65)

Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord (3:66)
