For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

I cried out to You, O Lord:

My portion in the land of the living.
[a]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.

I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,(C)

Listen to my cry,(F)
    for I am in desperate need;(G)
rescue me(H) from those who pursue me,
