1I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.
2I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.
5I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
6Attend unto 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 celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.
