¹ I cry out with my voice to Yahweh;
I implore favor with my voice to Yahweh.
² I pour out my complaint before him;
I declare my trouble before him.
³ When my spirit faints within me,
you know my way.
On the path where I walk,
they have hidden a trap for me;
⁴ look to my right and see.
There is no one looking out for me;
there is no escape for me;^[b]
no one cares for my soul.^[c]
5 I cry out to you, O Yahweh.
I say, "You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living."
⁶ Attend to my cry,
for I am brought very low.
Deliver me from my pursuers,
for they are stronger than I.
⁷ Bring me^[d] out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will encircle me,
because you will deal bountifully with me.
