| Prayer for Help in Trouble |
| Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. |
| [1] | I CRY with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. |
| [2] | I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble. |
| [3] | When my spirit was 1 overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me. |
| [4] | Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul. |
| [5] | I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, 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 give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass 2 me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me. |
| Note 1. Or, fainted. [back] |
| Note 2. Or, crown themselves because of me. [back] |
