| ¶ | [[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. | ||
| I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. | |||
| 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. | |||
| 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. | |||
| I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living. | |||
| Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. | |||
| 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. |
