1
Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.
I cry with my voice to Yahweh;With my voice to Yahweh I plead for mercy.
2
I pour out my complaint before him;Before him I show my trouble.
3
When my spirit was overwhelmed inside me,You knew my path.In the way in which I walkThey have hidden a snare for me.
4
Look at [my] right hand, and see;For there is no man who knows me:Refuge has failed me;No man cares for my soul.
5
I cried to you, O Yahweh;I said, You are my refuge,My portion in the land of the living.
6
Attend to 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 give thanks to your name:The righteous will circle me about;For you will deal bountifully with me.
