A Davidic * Maskil. When he was in the cave. l A prayer.
1 I cry aloud to the Lord; m
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy. n
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I reveal my trouble to Him. o
3 Although my spirit is weak within me,
You know my way. p
Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me. q
4 Look to the right and see: r
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me. s
I say, “You are my shelter,
my portion in the land of the living.” t
for I am very weak. u
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me. v
so that I can praise Your name.
The righteous will gather around me
because You deal generously with me. w
