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

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

4Look 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.

5I cried out to You, O LORD;
         I said, “You are my refuge,
         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.

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.”
