I Lift My Voice to the Lord
(1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalms 57:1–11)
A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.
1I cry aloud to the Lord;I lift my voice to the Lord for mercy.2I pour out my complaint before Him;I reveal my trouble to Him.
3Although my spirit grows faint within me,You know my way.Along the path I travelthey have hidden a snare for me.4Look to my right and see;no one attends to me.There is no refuge for me;no one cares for my soul.
5I cry to You, O Lord: “You are my refuge,my portion in the land of the living.”
6Listen to my cry,for I am brought quite low.Rescue me from my pursuers,for they are too strong for me.7Free my soul from prison,that I may praise Your name.The righteous will gather around mebecause of Your goodness to me.
