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

I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

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

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

3 W hen my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

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 L ook to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul.

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 out to You, O Lord; I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 “ Give heed to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.

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, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will deal bountifully with me.”

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.
