⁸ Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁴ These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

¹⁹ Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

² I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

³ When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

⁶ I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul `thirsteth' after thee, as a weary land. Selah

¹⁶ And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

¹ A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.

¹⁵ By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
