Bible in Basic English
"Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;"
— Lamentations 3:61, Bible in Basic English
“Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;”
O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.
O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.
You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.
Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;
The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day.
Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song.
You will give them their reward, O Lord, answering to the work of their hands.
