51 Mon œil me fait souffrir, A cause de toutes les filles de ma ville.

52 Ils m’ont donné la chasse comme à un oiseau, Ceux qui sont à tort mes ennemis.

53 Ils ont voulu anéantir ma vie dans une fosse, Et ils ont jeté des pierres sur moi.

54 Les eaux ont inondé ma tête; Je disais: Je suis perdu!

55 J’ai invoqué ton nom, ô Éternel, Du fond de la fosse.
