Verse Numbers
A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.
1
[a]
[b]
I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2
I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
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 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 cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
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.
