Come closer to me now, for I need Your mercy.

Rescue me, YHWH, for You free my feet from every trap.

Only You can free me from all these troubles!

Sorrows fill my heart as I feel helpless, mistreated—

Will You protect me from their power against me?

I’m all alone and in misery!

Turn to me, for my problems seem to be going from bad to worse?

Your perfection and faithfulness are my bodyguards,
