I Lift My Voice to the LORD
(1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalms 57:1–11)
A Maskil 1of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.
I cry aloud to the LORD; Psa 30:8Psa 57:1Psa 141:11Ch 4:101Sa 24:3Psa 77:1-2Psa 28:2Psa 32:1
I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.
I pour out my complaint before Him; Rom 8:26Isa 26:16Php 4:6-7Heb 5:7Psa 62:81Sa 1:15-16Psa 102:1-28Psa 18:4-6
I reveal my trouble to Him.
Although my spirit grows faint within me, Psa 140:5Psa 141:9Jer 18:22Mrk 14:33-36Psa 139:2-4Psa 143:4Psa 61:2Job 23:10
You know my way.
Along the path I travel
they have hidden a snare for me.
Look to my right and see; Jer 30:17Psa 31:11Psa 88:18Job 19:13-19Mat 26:561Sa 27:12Ti 4:16Psa 69:20
no one attends to me.
There is no refuge for me;
no one cares for my soul.
I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, 2Ti 4:17Psa 16:5Psa 27:13Jhn 16:32Lam 3:24Psa 73:26Psa 91:2Psa 91:9-10
my portion in the land of the living.”
Listen to my cry, Psa 79:8Psa 116:6Psa 136:23Psa 17:11Sa 24:14Psa 143:7Psa 18:17Psa 3:1
for I am brought quite low.
Rescue me from my pursuers,
for they are too strong for me.
Free my soul from prison, Psa 143:11Psa 146:7Psa 7:6-7Psa 13:6Act 2:24Isa 61:1Jas 5:11Psa 9:14
that I may praise Your name.
The righteous will gather around me
because of Your goodness to me.
