| 2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. | 2I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. |
| 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me. | 3When 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. |
| 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. | 4I 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. |
| 5I cried out to You, O LORD; I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. | 5I 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. | 6Attend 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." | 7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. |
