1I cry with my voice to Jehovah. With my voice to Jehovah I make supplication.
2I pour out my complaint before him. I show my trouble before him.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have hidden a snare for me.
4Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me. No man cares for my soul.
5I cried to thee, O Jehovah. I said, Thou are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
6Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
7Bring my soul out of prison that I may give thanks to thy name. The righteous shall encompass me around, for thou will deal bountifully with me.
