1A psalm of David, when his son Absalom pursued him. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
1I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.
1An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice <FI>is<Fi> unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice <FI>is<Fi> unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.
1 The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
2I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.
2I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.
2I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.
3When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way <FI>in<Fi> which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
3When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.
4And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
4Look onmy right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.
4Looking on the right hand--and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.
4Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.
5I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
5I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
5I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou <FI>art<Fi> my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'
5I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.
6I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
6Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.
6Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
6Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.
7Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
7Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
7Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
7Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
8Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
