A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
I cry with my voice to the LORD. Psa 30:8Psa 57:1Psa 141:11Ch 4:101Sa 24:3Psa 77:1-2Psa 28:2Psa 32:1
With my voice, I ask 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 tell him my troubles.
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Psa 140:5Psa 141:9Jer 18:22Mrk 14:33-36Psa 139:2-4Psa 143:4Psa 61:2Job 23:10
you knew my route.
On the path in which I walk,
they have hidden a snare for me.
Look on my right, and see; Jer 30:17Psa 31:11Psa 88:18Job 19:13-19Mat 26:561Sa 27:12Ti 4:16Psa 69:20
for there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul.
I cried to you, LORD. 2Ti 4:17Psa 16:5Psa 27:13Jhn 16:32Lam 3:24Psa 73:26Psa 91:2Psa 91:9-10
I said, “You are my refuge,
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 in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
Bring my soul out of prison, Psa 143:11Psa 146:7Psa 7:6-7Psa 13:6Act 2:24Isa 61:1Jas 5:11Psa 9:14
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will be good to me.
