David sheweth that in his trouble all his comfort was in prayer unto God.

1 ¶ [[Maschilºª of David;º A Prayerº when he was² in the cave.]]º I criedºª unto² the LORDº with my voice;º with my voiceº unto² the LORDº did I make my supplication.ºª 2 I poured outºª my complaintº beforeº him; I shewedºª beforeº him my trouble.º 3 When my spiritº was overwhelmedºª within² me, then thou² knewestºª my path.º In the wayº whereinº I walkedºª have they privily laidºª a snareº for me. 4 I lookedºª on [my] right hand,º and beheld,ºª but [there was] no man² that would knowºª me: refugeº failedºª² me; no man² caredºª for my soul.º 5 I criedºª unto² thee, O LORD:º I said,ºª Thou² [art] my refugeº [and] my portionº in the landº of the living.º 6 Attendºª unto² my cry;º for² I am brought¹ª very¹ low:ºª² deliverºª me from my persecutors;ºª² for² they are strongerºª than² I. 7 Bring¹ª my soul¹ out²² of prison,º² that I may praiseºª² thy name:º the righteousº shall compass me about;ºª for² thou shalt deal bountifullyºª with² me.
