1 A Maskil of David, in his being in the cave. A prayer. With my voice to YHWH I cry out; with my voice to YHWH I plead for grace. With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out before Him my complaint; I declare my distress before Him. I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
3 With the weakening of my spirit within me, You indeed know my path; on the road that I walk, they have hidden a snare for me. When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look to the right and see, and no one attends to me; the place of refuge has perished for me; no one is inquiring for my soul. Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
5 I cried out to You, O YHWH; I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living!” I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Attend to my cry, for exceedingly I am brought low! Deliver me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I. Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7 Bring forth my soul from prison, for giving praise by me to Your name! Let the righteous ones surround me, for You deal bountifully with me. Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me. Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
