1I cry aloud to the Lord;I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.2I pour out my complaint before Him;I reveal my trouble to Him.3Although my spirit is weak within me,You know my way.Along this path I travelthey have hidden a trap for me.4Look to the right and see:[S]142:4 DSS, LXX, Syr, Vg, Tg read I look to the right and I seeno one stands up for me;there is no refuge for me;no one cares about me.5I cry to You, Lord;I say, “You are my shelter,my portion in the land of the living.”6Listen to my cry,for I am very weak.Rescue me from those who pursue me,for they are too strong for me.7Free me from prisonso that I can praise Your name.The righteous will gather around mebecause You deal generously with me.
