1. A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.
|
1. Maschil H4905 of David H1732 ; A Prayer H8605 when he was H1961 in the cave H4631 . I cried H2199 unto H413 the LORD H3068 with my voice H6963 ; with my voice H6963 unto H413 the LORD H3068 did I make my supplication H2603 .
|
|
2. With full voice I cry to the LORD; with full voice I beseech the LORD.
|
2. I poured out H8210 my complaint H7879 before H6440 him ; I showed H5046 before H6440 him my trouble H6869 .
|
|
3. Before God I pour out my complaint, lay bare my distress.
|
3. When my spirit H7307 was overwhelmed H5848 within H5921 me , then thou H859 knewest H3045 my path H5410 . In the way H734 wherein H2098 I walked H1980 have they privily laid H2934 a snare H6341 for me.
|
|
4. My spirit is faint within me, but you know my path. Along the way I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
|
4. I looked H5027 on my right hand H3225 , and beheld H7200 , but there was no man H369 that would know H5234 me: refuge H4498 failed H6 H4480 me ; no man H369 cared H1875 for my soul H5315 .
|
|
5. I look to my right hand, but no friend is there. There is no escape for me; no one cares for me.
|
5. I cried H2199 unto H413 thee , O LORD H3068 : I said H559 , Thou H859 art my refuge H4268 and my portion H2506 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
|
6. I cry out to you, LORD, I say, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
|
6. Attend H7181 unto H413 my cry H7440 ; for H3588 I am brought very low H1809 H3966 : deliver H5337 me from my persecutors H4480 H7291 ; for H3588 they are stronger H553 than H4480 I.
|
|
7. Listen to my cry for help, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.
|
7. Bring my soul out H3318 H5315 of prison H4480 H4525 , that I may praise H3034 H853 thy name H8034 : the righteous H6662 shall compass me about H3803 ; for H3588 thou shalt deal bountifully H1580 with H5921 me.
|
|
8. Lead me out of my prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Then the just shall gather around me because you have been good to me.

8.
