*Rashi's Commentary:

1 A maskil of David, when he was in the cave*, a prayer.
א מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַמְּעָרָה תְפִלָּה
*in the cave: where he severed the skirt of Saul’s robe.
2 [With] my voice, I cry out to the Lord; [with] my voice, I supplicate the Lord.
ב קוֹלִי אֶל יְהֹוָה אֶזְעָק קוֹלִי אֶל יְהֹוָה אֶתְחַנָּן
3 I pour out before Him my speech; my distress I recite before Him.
ג אֶשְׁפֹּךְ לְפָנָיו שִׂיחִי צָרָתִי לְפָנָיו אַגִּיד
4 When my spirit enwraps itself upon me, and You know my path*. In whichever way I go, they have hidden a snare for me.
ד בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי | רוּחִי וְאַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ נְתִיבָתִי בְּאֹרַח זוּ אֲהַלֵּךְ טָמְנוּ פַח לִי
*and You know my path: how many snares are in it.
5 Looking to the right, I see that no one recognizes me; escape is lost from me; no one seeks my soul.
ה הַבֵּיט יָמִין | וּרְאֵה וְאֵין לִי מַכִּיר אָבַד מָנוֹס מִמֶּנִּי אֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ לְנַפְשִׁי
*no one recognizes me: Among all of Saul’s servants, there is no one who protests against him.
6 I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, "You are my refuge, my lot in the land of the living."
ו זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה מַחְסִּי חֶלְקִי בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּים
7 Hearken to my cry for I have become very low; save me from my pursuers for they have overpowered me.
ז הַקְשִׁיבָה | אֶל רִנָּתִי כִּי דַלּוֹתִי מְאֹד הַצִּילֵנִי מֵרֹדְפַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי
8 Take my soul out of confinement to give thanks to Your name; because of me the righteous will crown You, because You will recompense me.
ח הוֹצִיאָה מִמַּסְגֵּר | נַפְשִׁי לְהוֹדוֹת אֶת שְׁמֶךָ בִּי יַכְתִּרוּ צַדִּיקִים כִּי תִגְמֹל עָלָי
*because of me the righteous will crown You: Because of me, the righteous will crown You and give thanks to Your name, for You support those who fear You.
