[1]I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.[2]I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.[3]When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.[4]I 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.[5]I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.[6]Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.[7]Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
