3 Although my spirit is weak within me,

you know my way.a

Along this path I travel

they have hidden a trap for me.b

4 Look to the right and see:A

no one stands up for me;

there is no refuge for me;

no one cares about me.c

5 I cry to you, Lord;

I say, “You are my shelter,

my portion in the land of the living.”d

6 Listen to my cry,

for I am very weak.e

Rescue me from those who pursue me,

for they are too strong for me.f

7 Free me from prison

so that I can praise your name.

The righteous will gather around me

because you deal generously with me.g
