v1

I cry out with my voice to Yahweh; I implore favor with my voice to Yahweh.

v2

I pour out my complaint before him; I declare my trouble before him.

v3

When my spirit faints within me, you know my way. On the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me;

v4

look to my right and see. There is no one looking out for me; there is no escape for me; ^[Hebrew “a refuge has perished from me”] no one cares for my soul. ^[Or “life”]

v5

I cry out to you, O Yahweh. I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

v6

Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.

v7

Bring me ^[Hebrew “my soul”] out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will encircle me, because you will deal bountifully with me.
