PSAL. CXLII.

Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. ^{▼▼ Maschil…: or, A Psalm of David, giving instruction.}

1 I cried unto Yhwh with my voice; with my voice unto Yhwh did I make my supplication. 2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. ^{▼▼ I looked…: or, Look on the right hand, and see.
,} ^{▼▼ failed…: Heb. perished from me.
,} ^{▼▼ cared…: Heb. sought after.} 5 I cried unto thee, O Yhwh: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
