1. I shall cry unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice shall I ask the Lord for mercy.
2. I shall pour out my complaint before him; before him I shall tell of my trouble.
3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou didst know my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me.
4. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no one that would know me; I had no refuge; no one cared for my soul.
