| 1 ¶ Maschil1 of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
|
|
| 2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
|
|
| 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
|
|
| 4 ¶ I looked2 on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed3 me; no man cared4 for my soul.
|
|
| 5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
|
|
| 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
|
|
| 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
