With my voice unto the Lord do I make supplication.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

2 ¶ I pour out my complaint before him;
I shew before him my trouble.

3 When 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.

3 ¶ When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

4 I 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.

4 ¶ Look on my right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me:
Refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

5 I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

5 ¶ I cried unto thee, O Lord;
I said, Thou art my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

6 ¶ Attend 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, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

7 ¶ Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
For thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
