[1] I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for
mercy. [2] I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
[3] When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the
way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me. [4] Look on my
right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge
has fled from me. No one cares for my soul. [5] I cried to you, Yahweh.
I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living." [6]
Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my
persecutors, For they are stronger than me. [7] Bring my soul out of
prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround
me, For you will be good to me. Psalm 143 A Psalm by David.
