Lamentations 3:56
54 The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
55 I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
57 You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
58 You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
