| 1 | I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy. | 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 my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. | 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 | When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps 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 | I 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. | 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 | Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. | 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 | Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for 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 | Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to 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. | |
