1Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.
1Taaveti õpetuslaul; palve, kui ta oli koopas.
2I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.
2Oma häält tõstes ma kisendan Issanda poole, oma häält tõstes ma anun Issandat.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.
3Ma valan välja oma kaebuse tema ette, ma annan temale teada oma ahastuse.
4Look on [my] right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.
4Kui minu vaim nõrkeb mu sees, siis sina tunned mu teerada. Teele, mida ma käin, on minu jaoks peidetud püünised.
5I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I 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 unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.
6Ma kisendan sinu poole, Issand! Ma ütlen: Sina oled mu pelgupaik, mu osa elavate maal!
7Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with 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.
