1
A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy .
An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice `is' unto Jehovah, I cry , My voice `is' unto Jehovah, I entreat grace .
2
I pour out my complaint before Him ; I reveal my trouble to Him.
I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare .
3
Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.
When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path ; In the way `in' which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
4
Look to my right and see ; no one attends to me . There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none recognizing ; Perished hath refuge from me , There is none inquiring for my soul.
5
I cry to You , O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. ”
I have cried unto thee , O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou `art' my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. '

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low . Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me .
Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low , Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I .
7
Free my soul from prison , that I may praise Your name . The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me .
Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name , The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me !
