1. A well-written song by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. To the LORD I cry out; to the LORD I plead for mercy.
|
1. Maschil H4905 of David H1732 ; A Prayer H8605 when he was H1961 in the cave H4631 . I cried H2199 unto H413 the LORD H3068 with my voice H6963 ; with my voice H6963 unto H413 the LORD H3068 did I make my supplication H2603 .
|
2. I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles.
|
2. I poured out H8210 my complaint H7879 before H6440 him ; I showed H5046 before H6440 him my trouble H6869 .
|
3. Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
|
3. When my spirit H7307 was overwhelmed H5848 within H5921 me , then thou H859 knewest H3045 my path H5410 . In the way H734 wherein H2098 I walked H1980 have they privily laid H2934 a snare H6341 for me.
|
4. Look to the right and see! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run; no one is concerned about my life.
|
4. I looked H5027 on my right hand H3225 , and beheld H7200 , but there was no man H369 that would know H5234 me: refuge H4498 failed H6 H4480 me ; no man H369 cared H1875 for my soul H5315 .
|
5. I cry out to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my shelter, my security in the land of the living."
|
5. I cried H2199 unto H413 thee , O LORD H3068 : I said H559 , Thou H859 art my refuge H4268 and my portion H2506 in the land H776 of the living H2416 .
|
6. Listen to my cry for help, for I am in serious trouble! Rescue me from those who chase me, for they are stronger than I am.
|
6. Attend H7181 unto H413 my cry H7440 ; for H3588 I am brought very low H1809 H3966 : deliver H5337 me from my persecutors H4480 H7291 ; for H3588 they are stronger H553 than H4480 I.
|
7. Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Because of me the godly will assemble, for you will vindicate me.
|
7. Bring my soul out H3318 H5315 of prison H4480 H4525 , that I may praise H3034 H853 thy name H8034 : the righteous H6662 shall compass me about H3803 ; for H3588 thou shalt deal bountifully H1580 with H5921 me.
