In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
Even to the Lord [they cried], but He did not answer them.

They cried out to You and were delivered;
They trusted in You and were not disappointed or ashamed.

For He has not despised nor detested the suffering of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He listened.

O Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You have healed me.

I called to You, O Lord,
And to the Lord I made supplication (specific request).

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from Your eyes.”
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications (specific requests)
When I cried to You [for help].

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him from all his troubles.

I cried aloud to Him;
He was highly praised with my tongue.

O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out [for help] by day and in the night before You.

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He rescued them from their distresses.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them from their distresses.

Qoph.
I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord!
I will observe Your statutes.

I cried to You; save me
And I will keep Your testimonies.

I rise before dawn and cry [in prayer] for help;
I wait for Your word.

In my trouble I cried to the Lord,
And He answered me.

Out of the depths [of distress] I have cried to You, O Lord.

I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
