1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh 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 path.

In the way 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, Yahweh. 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.
