¹With my voice to Yahweh, I ^acry aloud;

With my voice to Yahweh, I ^bmake supplication.

²I ^apour out my complaint before Him;

I declare my ^bdistress before Him.

³When ^amy spirit ¹was faint within me,

You knew my path.

In the way where I walk

They have ^bhidden a trap for me.

⁴Look to the right and see;

That there is ^ano one who regards me;

^bA way of escape has been destroyed from me;

^cNo one cares for my soul.

⁵I cried out to You, O Yahweh;

I said, “You are ^amy refuge,

My ^bportion in the ^cland of the living.

⁶“^aGive heed to my cry of lamentation,

For I am ^bbrought very low;

Deliver me from my persecutors,

For they are too ^cstrong for me.

⁷“^aBring my soul out of prison,

To give thanks to Your name;

The righteous will encircle me,

For You will ^bdeal bountifully with me.”

Then thou knewest my path.

But there was no man that would know me:

Refuge failed me;

No man cared for my soul.

I said, Thou art my refuge

And my portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry;

For I am brought very low:

Deliver me from my persecutors;

For they are stronger than I.

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.
