1. 1I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I made my supplication.
2. 2I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
3. 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way where I walked, they had secretly laid a snare for me.
4. 4I looked on my right hand and saw, but there was no one who would acknowledge me. Refuge failed me; no one cared for my soul.
5. 5I cried out to you, O LORD. I said, "You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living."
6. 6Listen to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
7. 7Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may praise your name. The righteous shall surround me, for you shall deal bountifully with me.
