A psalma of David, regarding his experience in the cave. A prayer. 1I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy. 2I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. 3When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me. 4I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me. 5Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. 6Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. 7Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.” Footnotes: a Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
