When I am feeling discouraged and despairing like this,

There is no one else but the Lord who knows my path.

I cry out loudly to the Lord, pleading for His help.

I lay my grievances before Him, telling Him all my troubles.

I am overwhelmed by difficulties I cannot express.

Yet, there is no one who comes to help or protect me, no one who cares for me.

Nevertheless, You, Lord, are my refuge and all I need in this world.

When I am feeling discouraged and despairing like this,

there is no one else but the Lord who knows my path.

Rescue me from prison, so that I may praise Your name.

Because of Your goodness, the righteous will gather around me

(Ps. 142).
