1 <V 141:1>The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave. <V 141:2>With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord. 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 <V 141:3>In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation. 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 <V 141:4>Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, 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 <V 141:5>I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern 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 <V 141:6>I cried out to you, O Lord. I said: You are my hope, 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 <V 141:7>Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me. 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 <V 141:8>Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay 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.
