| New King James Version | International Standard Version |
| 1A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cry out to the LORD with my voice; With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication. | 1My voice cries out to the LORD; my voice pleads for mercy to the LORD. |
| 2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. | 2I pour out my complaint to him, telling him all of my troubles. |
| 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me. | 3Though my spirit grows faint within me, you are aware of my path. Wherever I go, they have hidden a trap for me. |
| 4Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul. | 4I look to my right and observe— no one is concerned about me. There is nowhere I can go for refuge, and no one cares for me. |
| 5I cried out to You, O LORD: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. | 5So I cry to you, Lord, declaring, "You are my refuge, my only possession while I am on this earth." |
| 6Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I. | 6Pay attention to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Deliver me from my tormentors, for they are far too strong for me. |
| 7Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me.” | 7Break me out of this prison, so I can give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal generously with me. |
