A Plea for Relief from Persecutors
A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.
3 When my spirit1 was aoverwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly bset a snare for me.
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly bset 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.
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.
6 1Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may apraise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
That I may apraise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
