1b``A Prayer when he was in the cave.
1c
I cried unto Jehovah/God with my voice;
with
my voice unto Jehovah/God did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him;
I showed before him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
then you knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walked
have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 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.
5 I cried unto thee, O Jehovah/God:
I said, You are my refuge
and my portion
in the land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry;
for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors;
for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
that I may praise your name:
the righteous shall compass me about;
for you shall deal bountifully with me.
