Lamentations 3:60
58 You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
59 You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
61 O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
62 the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
