1I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 2I poured out my complaint before Him; I showed before Him my trouble. 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me. 4I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me. Refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 5I cried unto Thee, O LORD. I said, Thou art my refuge and 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 praise Thy name. The righteous shall compass me about; for Thou shalt deal {part} bountifully with me.
