1(142) [A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer. I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
1A Psalm by David. Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him my affliction.
2Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3When my spirit was fainting within me, then you knew my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
3Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
4Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
5I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until you recompense me.
7“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
