Maschil of David; A Prayer
when
he was in the cave.
I cried
unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto
the Lord did I make my supplication.
02 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed
before him my trouble.
03 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then
thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked
have they privily laid a snare for me.

04 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but
there was no man that would know me: refuge
failed me; no man cared for my soul.
05 I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my
refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
06 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors; for they are
stronger than I.
07 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise
thy name: the righteous shall compass me about;
for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
