⁴ Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;^(A)
    no one cares^(B) for my life.

⁵ I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,^(C)
    my portion^(D) in the land of the living.”^(E)

⁶ Listen to my cry,^(F)
    for I am in desperate need;^(G)
rescue me^(H) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong^(I) for me.
