1 我大声向耶和华呼求， 高声向耶和华恳求。 2 我在他面前倾吐我的苦情， 在他面前陈述我的患难。 3 我的灵在我里面软弱的时候， 你知道我的道路。在我所行的路上， 敌人暗设网罗陷害我。 4 求你向我右边观看， 没有人关心我； 我没有逃难的地方， 也没有人照顾我。 5 耶和华啊！ 我向你呼求； 我说： "你是我的避难所， 是我在活人之地的业分。 6 求你留心听我的呼求， 因为我落到极卑微的地步； 求你救我脱离逼迫我的人， 因为他们比我强大。 7 求你把我从牢狱中领出来， 好让我称赞你的名； 义人必环绕着我， 因为你以厚恩待我。"

1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.2 I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.4 Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.5 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.`6 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.7 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
