Folks, here's the deal: I'm literally in the depths of despair, and I'm not joking. That's why I'm crying out to the Lord. I'm in trouble, and I need him to rescue me. C'mon, man, I'm not gonna lie - I feel like I'm stuck in a pit, and I can't get out. I'm surrounded by enemies, and I can't see a way out. My father used to say, "Nobody's gonna help you out of a tough spot - you gotta help yourself." But here I am, stuck in this pit, and I need the Lord to come and rescue me. I'm calling out to him for help - what was that? I'm begging him to hear my cry and save me from this pit. See here, Jack, I'm depending on the Lord to lead me in a safe way out. Excuse me, but I'm asking the Lord to make a path for me to escape from my enemies. No malarkey, I'm trusting the Lord to deliver me - not gonna happen any other way. I tell you what, there's no way out of this for me - except for the Lord to rescue me.
