You Are My Refuge
A Maskil142:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David, when he was in Ps. 57, titlethe cave. A Prayer.
1 With my voice I Ps. 3:4cry out to the Lord;
with my voice I Ps. 30:8plead for mercy to the Lord.
2 I [Isa. 26:16]; See Ps. 102, titlepour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
3 When my spirit See Ps. 77:3faints within me,
you know my way!
In the path where I walk
they have Ps. 140:5hidden a trap for me.
4 Ps. 69:20Look to the Ps. 16:8right and see:
[Ps. 31:11] there is none who takes notice of me;
Job 11:20;Jer. 25:35no refuge remains to me;
no one cares for my soul.
5 I cry to you, O Lord;
I say, "You are my See Ps. 14:6refuge,
my Ps. 16:5portion in Ps. 27:13the land of the living."
6 Ps. 17:1Attend to my cry,
for Ps. 79:8I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
Ps. 18:17for they are too strong for me!
7 Isa. 42:7;[Ps. 143:11] Bring me out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me,
for you will Ps. 13:6deal bountifully with me.
