Psalms 141 CPDV

¹ The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave.

² With my voice, I cried out to the Lord.With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.

³ In his sight, I pour out my prayer,and before him, I declare my tribulation.

⁴ Though my spirit may become faint within me,even then, you have known my paths.Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.

⁵ I considered toward the right, and I looked,but there was no one who would know me.Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.

⁶ I cried out to you, O Lord. I said:You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

⁷ Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly.Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.

⁸ Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name.The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.
