1A Maskil[1] of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord. (诗3:4; 诗30:8; 诗57:1)2I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. (诗102:1; 赛26:16)3When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. (诗77:3; 诗140:5)4Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. (伯11:20; 诗16:8; 诗31:11; 诗69:20; 耶25:35)5I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” (诗14:6; 诗16:5; 诗27:13)6Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! (诗17:1; 诗18:17; 诗79:8)7Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me. (诗13:6; 诗143:11; 赛42:7)
