Psalms

¹ A Maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A Prayer. With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud; With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication.

² I declare my distress before Him.

³ You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.

⁴ That there is no one who regards me; A way of escape has been destroyed from me; No one cares for my soul.

⁵ I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

⁶ For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.

⁷ To give thanks to Your name; The righteous will encircle me, For You will deal bountifully with me.”
