:
A Prayer for Deliverance from Pursuers 1 (A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.
2 I pour out my complaint before him; I declare my trouble before him.
3 When my spirit faints within me, you know my way. On the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me;
4 look to my right and see. There is no one looking out for me; there is no escape for me;
5 I cry out to you, O Yahweh. I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.
