1. I cry with my voice unto the Lord; with my voice unto the Lord do I make supplication.
2. I pour out my complaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.
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. 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, my portion in the land of the living.
