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.
