1 I cry with my voice to the Lord.With my voice, I ask the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him.I tell him my troubles.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,you knew my route.On the path in which I walk,they have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look on my right, and see;for there is no one who is concerned for me.Refuge has fled from me.No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried to you, Lord.I said, “You are my refuge,my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry,for I am in desperate need.deliver me from my persecutors,For they are stronger than me.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,that I may give thanks to your name.The righteous will surround me,for you will be good to me.
