Lord, I cry to you for help;
    you, Lord, are my protector;
    you are all I want in this life.
Listen to my cry for help,
    for I am sunk in despair.

    they are too strong for me.
Set me free from my distress;[a]
    then in the assembly of your people I will praise you
    because of your goodness to me.
