1大衛的訓誨詩，是在山洞時作的，是一篇禱告。我大聲向耶和華呼求，高聲向耶和華懇求。
1I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2我在他面前傾吐我的苦情，在他面前陳述我的患難。
2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3我的靈在我裡面軟弱的時候，你知道我的道路。在我所行的路上，敵人暗設網羅陷害我。
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4求你向我右邊觀看，沒有人關心我；我沒有逃難的地方，也沒有人照顧我。
4Look 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.
5耶和華啊！我向你呼求；我說：“你是我的避難所，是我在活人之地的業分。
5I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6求你留心聽我的呼求，因為我落到極卑微的地步；求你救我脫離逼迫我的人，因為他們比我強大。
6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
7求你把我從牢獄中領出來，好讓我稱讚你的名；義人必環繞著我，因為你以厚恩待我。”
7Bring 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.
