   (1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalm 57:1–11)

2. 1ENGOJB(Maskil of Dovid; A tefillah when he was in the me'arah) I cried out unto Hashem with my voice; with my voice unto Hashem did I make my techinnah (supplication).BSBBSB: A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.
3. 2ENGOJBI poured out my complaint before Him; I showed before Him my tzoros.BSBBSB: I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
4. 3ENGOJBWhen my ruach became faint within me, then Thou had da'as of my path. In the way wherein I walked have they laid a pach (snare, hidden trap) for me.BSBBSB: Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.
5. 4ENGOJBI looked on my right, and behold, there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my nefesh.BSBBSB: Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
6. 5ENGOJBI cried unto Thee, Hashem; I said, Thou art my refuge and my chelek (portion) in the Eretz HaChayyim.BSBBSB: I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
7. 6ENGOJBAttend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; save me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.BSBBSB: Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.
8. 7ENGOJBRelease my nefesh from prison, to praise Shemecha (Thy Name); the tzaddikim shall gather about me; for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me.BSBBSB: Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
