pour out my lament before him ... I tell him my troubles

If these two lines are so much the same that the reader will get the wrong meaning, you can translate them as one line. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)

pour out my lament before him

tell him my troubles

"tell him about everything that makes me worry"
