1 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. VP

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. VP

3 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. VP

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. VP

5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living. VP

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. VP

7 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. VP
