1 I APs 77:1cry aloud with my voice to the Loʀᴅ;
I BPs 30:8make supplication with my voice to the Loʀᴅ.
2 I APs 102: titlepour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my BPs 77:2trouble before Him.
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have BPs 140:5hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see;
For there is APs 31:11; 88:8, 18no one who regards me;
1Lit Escape has perished from meThere is no BJob 11:20; Jer 25:35escape for me;
CJer 30:17No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried out to You, O Loʀᴅ;
I said, “You are APs 91:2, 9my refuge,
My BPs 16:5; 73:26portion in the CPs 27:13land of the living.
6 “APs 17:1Give heed to my cry,
For I am BPs 79:8; 116:6brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too CPs 18:17strong for me.
7 “APs 143:11; 146:7Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will BPs 13:6deal bountifully with me.”
