25:003:039 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

25:003:040 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

25:003:041 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

25:003:042 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

25:003:043 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

25:003:044 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

25:003:045 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

25:003:046 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

25:003:047 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

25:003:048 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

25:003:049 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.

25:003:050 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.

25:003:051 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

25:003:052 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

25:003:053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

25:003:054 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

25:003:055 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

25:003:056 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

25:003:057 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

25:003:058 O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

25:003:059 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

25:003:060 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

25:003:061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;

25:003:062 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

25:003:063 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

25:003:064 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

25:003:065 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

25:003:066 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
