Prayer for Help in Trouble.

^●Maskil of David, when he was^† in the cave. A Prayer.

I ^acry aloud with my voice to the LORD;I ^bmake supplication with my voice to the LORD.2 I ^apour out my complaint before Him;I declare my ^btrouble before Him.3 When ^amy spirit ¹was overwhelmed within me,You knew my path.In the way where I walkThey have ^bhidden a trap for me.4 Look to the right and see;For there is ^ano one who regards me;¹There is no ^bescape for me;^cNo one cares for my soul.

5 I cried out to You, O LORD;I said, “You are ^amy refuge,My ^bportion in the ^cland of the living.6 “^aGive heed to my cry,For I am ^bbrought very low;Deliver me from my persecutors,For they are too ^cstrong for me.7 “^aBring my soul out of prison,So that I may give thanks to Your name;The righteous will surround me,For You will ^bdeal bountifully with me.”

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David; when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

I ^acry aloud with my voice to the LORD;I ^bmake supplication with my voice to the LORD.2 I ^apour out my complaint before Him;I declare my ^btrouble before Him.3 When ^amy spirit was overwhelmed and weak within me wrapped in darkness,You knew my path.In the way where I walkThey have ^bhidden a trap for me.4 Look to the right the point of attack and see;For there is ^ano one who has regard for me to act in my favor.^bEscape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;^cNo one cares about my life.

5 I cried out to You, O LORD;I said, “You are ^amy refuge,My ^bportion in the ^cland of the living.6 “^aGive attention to my cry,For I am ^bbrought very low;Rescue me from my persecutors,For they are ^cstronger than I.7 “^aBring my soul out of prison (adversity) ,So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;The righteous will surround me in triumph,For You will ^blook after me.”
