2I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord .
2I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
3I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.
3I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
4When my spirit was fainting within me, then thou knewest my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
4When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
5I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
5I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
6I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
6I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
7Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
7Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until thou recompense me.
8Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
