1 I cry aloud to the LORD ;
I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy. |
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
before him I tell my trouble. |
3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who know my way.
In the path where I walk
men have hidden a snare for me. |
4 Look to my right and see;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life. |
5 I cry to you, O LORD ;
I say, "You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living." |
6 Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me. |
7 Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name. |
