³ When my spirit grows faint^(A) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
⁴ Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;^(B)
    no one cares^(C) for my life.

⁵ I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,^(D)
    my portion^(E) in the land of the living.”^(F)

⁶ Listen to my cry,^(G)
    for I am in desperate need;^(H)
rescue me^(I) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong^(J) for me.
⁷ Set me free from my prison,^(K)
    that I may praise your name.^(L)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.^(M)
