¹ I pray to you, Lord.
    I beg for mercy.
² I tell you all of my worries
    and my troubles,
³     and whenever I feel low,
    you are there to guide me.

A trap has been hidden
    along my pathway.
⁴ Even if you look,
    you won't see anyone
    who cares enough
    to walk beside me.
There is no place to hide,
    and no one who really cares.

⁵ I pray to you, Lord!
    You are my place of safety,
    and you are my choice
    in the land of the living.
Please answer my prayer.
    I am completely helpless.

⁶ Help! They are chasing me,
    and they are too strong.
⁷     Rescue me from this prison,
    so I can praise your name.
And when your people notice
your wonderful kindness to me,
    they will rush to my side.
