Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.
1
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 looked on my right hand,And beheld, but there was no man that would know me:Refuge failed me;No man cared 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.
