A Prayer for Help in Trouble

1421 I cry aloud with my voice to the Lord ; I make supplication with my voice to the Lord . 2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path . In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

4 Look to the right and see ; For there is no one who regards me; There is no escape for 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 . 6 " Give heed to my cry , For I am brought very low ; Deliver me from my persecutors , For they are too strong for me. 7 " Bring my soul out of prison , So that I may give thanks to Your name ; The righteous will surround me, For You will deal bountifully with me."
