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.
