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." 58 You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life. 59 LORD, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause! 60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me. 61 LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me – 62 What my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long. 63 Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs. 64 Pay them back what they deserve, LORD, for what their hands have done. 65 Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them! 66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD. (NIV)

52 I have been hunted down like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause. 53 They [thought they had] destroyed my life in the dungeon (pit) and cast a stone [over it] above me. [Jer. 38.] 54 The waters ran down on my head; I said, I am gone. 55 I called upon Your name, O Lord, out of the depths [of the mire] of the dungeon. [Jer. 38:6.] 56 You heard my voice [then]: [Oh] hide not Your ear [now] at my prayer for relief. 57 You drew near on the day I called to You; You said, Fear not. [James 4:8.] 58 O Lord, You have pleaded the causes of my soul [You have managed my affairs and You have protected my person and my rights]; You have rescued and redeemed my life! 59 O Lord, You have seen my wrong [done to me]; judge and maintain my cause. 60 You have seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me. 61 You have heard their reproach and revilings, O Lord, and all their devices against me-- 62 The lips and thoughts of my assailants are against me all day long. 63 Look at their sitting down and their rising up [their movements, doings, and secret counsels]; I am their singsong [the subject of their derision and merriment]. [Ps. 139:2; Isa. 37:28.] 64 Render to them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of their hands. 65 You will give them hardness and blindness of heart; Your curse will be upon them. 66 You will pursue and afflict them in anger and destroy them from under Your heavens, O Lord. (AMP)

52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause. 53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. 54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. 55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. 56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. 57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. 58 O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. 59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. 60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; 62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick. 64 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. 65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them. 66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
