You Are My Refuge

1 With my voice I ¹cry out to the LORD; with my voice I ²plead for mercy to the LORD. 2 I ³pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. 3 When my spirit ⁴faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have ⁵hidden a trap for me. 4 ⁶Look to the ⁷right and see: ⁸there is none who takes notice of me; ⁹no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. 5 I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my ¹⁰refuge, my ¹¹portion in ¹²the land of the living." 6 ¹³Attend to my cry, for ¹⁴I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, ¹⁵for they are too strong for me! 7 ¹⁶Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will ¹⁷deal bountifully with me.
