1I cry out unto Jehovah with my voice; with my voice unto Jehovah I make my supplication. 2I pour out my meditation before Him; I make known before His face my distress. 3When my spirit was faint within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have hidden a snare for me. 4Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has vanished from me; no one cares for my soul. 5I cried out unto You, O Jehovah: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 6Give attention to my cry, for I am brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I. 7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Your name; the righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.
