1 Loudly, I cry to the Lord.Loudly, I plead with the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaints in his presenceand tell him my troubles.
3 When I begin to lose hope,you ⌊already⌋ know what I am experiencing.⌊My enemies⌋ have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
4 Look to my right and see that no one notices me.Escape is impossible for me.No one cares about me.
5 I call out to you, O Lord.I say, “You are my refuge,my own inheritance in this world of the living.”
6 Pay attention to my cry for helpbecause I am very weak.Rescue me from those who pursue mebecause they are too strong for me.
7 Release my soul from prisonso that I may give thanks to your name.Righteous people will surround mebecause you are good to me.
