1	Maschil# of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried# unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication# . [Maschil...: or, A Psalm of David, giving instruction]
			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 LORD: 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.
