Psalm

Masʹkil.^*1 Of David when he was in the cave. A prayer.

¹ With my voice I call to Jehovah for help; With my voice I plead with Jehovah for favor.

² Before him I pour out my concern; Before him I tell about my distress

³ When my spirit^*1 fails within me. Then you watch my roadway. In the path where I walk, They hide a trap for me.

⁴ Look at my right hand and see That no one cares about^*1 me. There is nowhere I can flee; No one is concerned about me.^*2

⁵ I call to you, O Jehovah, for help. I say: “You are my refuge, All I have^*1 in the land of the living.”

⁶ Pay attention to my cry for help, For I have been brought very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I am.

⁷ Bring me^*1 out of the dungeon To praise your name. May the righteous gather around me Because you deal kindly with me.
