1An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.
1Taaveti õpetuslaul; palve, kui ta oli koopas.
2I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.
2Oma häält tõstes ma kisendan Issanda poole, oma häält tõstes ma anun Issandat.
3When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
3Ma valan välja oma kaebuse tema ette, ma annan temale teada oma ahastuse.
4Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.
4Kui minu vaim nõrkeb mu sees, siis sina tunned mu teerada. Teele, mida ma käin, on minu jaoks peidetud püünised.
5I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.`
5Vaata paremale poole ja näe, et mul ei ole, kes mind tunneks. Pelgupaik on mu eest hävinud, ükski ei hooli mu hingest.
6Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
6Ma kisendan sinu poole, Issand! Ma ütlen: Sina oled mu pelgupaik, mu osa elavate maal!
7Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
7Pane tähele mu halisemist, sest ma olen väga nõder! Vabasta mind mu tagaajajate käest, sest nad on minust tugevamad!
8Vii välja mu hing vangist tänama sinu nime! Õiged käivad mu ümber, kui sina mulle head teed.
