1Con mi voz clamaré a Jehová; Con mi voz pediré a Jehová misericordia.
2Delante de él expondré mi queja; Delante de él manifestaré mi angustia.

5Clamé a ti, oh Jehová; Dije: Tú eres mi esperanza, Y mi porción en la tierra de los vivientes.
6Escucha mi clamor, porque estoy muy afligido. Líbrame de los que me persiguen, porque son más fuertes que yo.
7Saca mi alma de la cárcel, para que alabe tu nombre; Me rodearán los justos, Porque tú me serás propicio.
