A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.

1 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.
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. 
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.
5 I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6 1Attend to my cry,
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.”
