New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
1 A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
1
I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.
2
I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me.
3
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.
4
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
5 I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
5
I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I.
6
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
