⁵⁵ I called on your name, O Lord,
   from the depths of the pit;
⁵⁶ you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear
   to my cry for help, but give me relief!’
⁵⁷ You came near when I called on you;
   you said, ‘Do not fear!’

⁵⁸ You have taken up my cause, O Lord,
   you have redeemed my life.
⁵⁹ You have seen the wrong done to me, O Lord;
   judge my cause.
⁶⁰ You have seen all their malice,
   all their plots against me.

⁶¹ You have heard their taunts, O Lord,
   all their plots against me.
⁶² The whispers and murmurs of my assailants
   are against me all day long.
⁶³ Whether they sit or rise—see,
   I am the object of their taunt-songs.

⁶⁴ Pay them back for their deeds, O Lord,
   according to the work of their hands!
⁶⁵ Give them anguish of heart;
   your curse be on them!
⁶⁶ Pursue them in anger and destroy them
   from under the Lord’s heavens.
