A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

[1] I cry with my voice to Yahweh.
With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
[2] I pour out my complaint before him.
I tell him my troubles.
[3] When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
you knew my route.
On the path in which I walk,
they have hidden a snare for me.
[4] Look on my right, and see;
for there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul.
[5] I cried to you, Yahweh.
I said, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
[6] Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
[7] Bring my soul out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will be good to me.
King James Version

Maschil H4905 (HiphPtc) of David; H1732 A Prayer H8605 when he was in the cave. H4631

[1] I cried H2199 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 with my voice; H6963
With my voice H6963 unto the Lord H3068 did I make my supplication. H2603 (HithImpf)
[2] I poured out H8210 (QalImpf) my complaint H7879 before H6440 him;
I shewed H5046 (HiphImpf) before H6440 him my trouble. H6869
[3] When my spirit H7307 was overwhelmed H5848 (HithInf) within me, then thou knewest H3045 (QalPerf) my path. H5410
In the way H734 wherein H2098 I walked H1980 (PielImpf) have they privily laid H2934 (QalPerf) a snare H6341 for me.
[4] I looked H5027 (HiphImpv) on my right hand, H3225
And beheld, H7200 (QalImpv)§ but there was no man that would know H5234 (HiphPtc) me:
Refuge H4498 failed H6 (QalPerf) me;§
No man cared H1875 (QalActPtc) for my soul. H5315§
[5] I cried H2199 (QalPerf) unto thee, O Lord: H3068
I said, H559 (QalPerf) Thou art my refuge H4268 and my portion H2506 in the land H776 of the living. H2416
[6] Attend H7181 (HiphImpv) unto my cry; H7440
For I am brought H1809 very H3966 low: H1809 (QalPerf)
Deliver H5337 (HiphImpv) me from my persecutors; H7291 (QalActPtc)
For they are stronger H553 (QalPerf) than I.
[7] Bring H3318 (HiphImpv) my soul H5315 out of prison, H4525
That I may praise H3034 (HiphInf) thy name: H8034
The righteous H6662 shall compass me about; H3803 (HiphImpf)
For thou shalt deal bountifully H1580 (QalImpf) with me.
