Masʹkil.^*1 Of David, when he happened to be in the cave. A prayer.

¹ With my voice, to Jehovah I proceeded to call for aid; With my voice, to Jehovah I began to cry for favor.

² Before him I kept pouring out my concern; Before him I continued to tell about my own distress,

³ When my spirit fainted away within me. Then you yourself knew my roadway. In the path in which I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

⁴ Look to the right hand and see That there is no one giving any recognition to me. My place for flight has perished from me; There is no one inquiring for my soul.

⁵ I called to you, O Jehovah, for aid. I said: “You are my refuge, My share in the land of the living ones.”

⁶ Do pay attention to my entreating cry, For I have become very much impoverished. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I am.

⁷ Do bring my soul out of the very dungeon To laud your name. Around me let the righteous ones gather, Because you deal appropriately with me.
