Lamentations 3:59

 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.


I came across this from Agatha Christie (After the Funeral, which incidentally is one which I recall reading and whose plot I remember quite well, while others have long since faded into obscurity). At first I thought this quote refers to our sins (i.e. things we have done wrong) but it turns out (other editions of the bible) that it refers to wrongs that have been done to you. 

Just wanted to jot this down because it's a. beautiful and b. intriguing.
