| 3:46 | All our enemies haue opened their mouth against vs. |
| 3:47 | Feare, and a snare is come vpon vs with desolation and destruction. |
| 3:48 | Mine eye casteth out riuers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
| 3:49 | Mine eye droppeth without stay and ceaseth not, |
| 3:50 | Till the Lord looke downe, and beholde from heauen. |
| 3:51 | Mine eye breaketh mine heart because of all the daughters of my citie. |
| 3:52 | Mine enemies chased me sore like a birde, without cause. |

| 3:55 | I called vpon thy Name, O Lord, out of the lowe dungeon. |
| 3:56 | Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry. |
| 3:57 | Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not. |
