| 1With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. | 1Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD; I make supplication with my voice to the LORD. |
| 2I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. | 2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. |
| 3When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. | 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me. |
| 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. | 4Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul. |
| 5I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” | 5I cried out to You, O LORD; I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. |
| 6Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! | 6"Give heed to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me. |
| 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. | 7"Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will deal bountifully with me." |
