1. I cried out unto Hashem with my voice; with my voice unto Hashem did I make my techinnah (supplication).
2. (3) I poured out my complaint before Him; I showed before Him my tzoros.
3. (4) When my ruach became faint within me, then Thou had da'as of my path. In the way wherein I walked have they laid a pach (snare, hidden trap) for me.
4. (5) I looked on my right, and behold, there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my nefesh.
5. (6) I cried unto Thee, Hashem; I said, Thou art my refuge and my chelek (portion) in the Eretz HaChayyim.
