Opening the chapter…
God, I cry out to you; I plead for you to help me.
I am bringing to you all my problems; I am telling you all my troubles.
When I am very discouraged, you know what I should do. Wherever I walk, it is as though my enemies have hidden traps for me to fall into.
I look around, but there is no one who sees me, no one who will protect me, and no one who cares about what happens to me.
So God, I cry out to you to help me; you are the one who protects me; you are all that I need while I am alive.
Listen to me while I cry out to you for help because I am very distressed. Rescue me because those who make me suffer are very strong; I cannot escape from them.
Free me from my troubles so that I may thank you. If you do that, when I am with others who live rightly, I will praise you for having been very good to me.
