Lamentations 3:58
56 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.”
You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
59 You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
60 You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
