A Plea for Relief from Persecutors
1 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was 1 Sam. 22:1; Ps. 57:titleoverwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly Ps. 77:3set a snare for me.
4 Look on my right hand and see,
For thereis no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, "You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
