Prayer for Help in Trouble.
▼▼Possibly Contemplative; or Didactic; or Skillful PsalmMaskil of David, when he was ▼▼1 Sam 22:1; 24:3in the cave. A Prayer.
1 I ccry out with my voice to the Lord; With my voice I dimplore the Lord for compassion.
2 I epour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my ftrouble before Him.
3 When gmy spirit felt weak within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hhidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see;
For there is ino one who regards me favorably;
▼
▼Lit Escape has perished from me
There is no kescape for me; lNo one cares for my soul.
5 I cried out to You, Lord;
I said, “You are mmy refuge,
My nportion in the oland of the living.
6 “ pGive Your attention to my cry,
For I have been qbrought very low;
Rescue me from my persecutors,
For they are too rstrong for me.
7 “ sBring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will tlook after me.”
