picture

1 I cry to the Lord with my voice; with my voice to the Lord do I make supplication.

I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I tell before Him my trouble.

I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

3 W hen my spirit was overwhelmed and fainted upon me, then You knew my path. In the way where I walk they have hidden a snare for me.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.

4 L ook on the right hand and see; for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me and I have no way to flee; no man cares for my life or my welfare.

Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

5 I cried to You, O Lord; I said, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

6 A ttend to my loud cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

7 B ring my life out of prison, that I may confess, praise, and give thanks to Your name; the righteous will surround me and crown themselves because of me, for You will deal bountifully with me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.
