| 1 Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD; I make supplication with my voice to the LORD. | 1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. | 1 [A [maskil] by David when he was in the cave; a prayer.] Loudly, I cry to the LORD. Loudly, I plead with the LORD for mercy. | 1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy. | 1 {An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.} I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. | 2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. | 2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. | 2 I pour out my complaints in his presence and tell him my troubles. | 2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles. | 2 I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble. | 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me. | 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. | 3 When I begin to lose hope, you [already] know what I am experiencing. [My enemies] have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk. | 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me. | 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me. | 4 Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul. | 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. | 4 Look to my right and see that no one notices me. Escape is impossible for me. No one cares about me. | 4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul. | 4 Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul. | 5 I cried out to You, O LORD; I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. | 5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. | 5 I call out to you, O LORD. I say, "You are my refuge, my own inheritance in this world of the living." | 5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." | 5 I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "Give heed to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me. | 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. | 6 Pay attention to my cry for help because I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me because they are too strong for me. | 6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me. | 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, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will deal bountifully with me." | 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. | 7 Release my soul from prison so that I may give thanks to your name. Righteous people will surround me because you are good to me. | 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
