A Prayer: David was twice in great peril in caves: on one occasion, in the cave of Adullam, when he fled from Achish king of Gath; and on another, in the cave of Engedi, where he had taken refuge from the pursuit of Saul. It is not certain to which of these events this Psalm refers; though probably to the former.

when he was: 1 Samuel 22:1, 1 Samuel 22:2, 1 Samuel 24:3, Hebrews 11:38

with my voice: Psalms 28:2, Psalms 77:1, Psalms 77:2, Psalms 141:1

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 11:16 - in the hold 2 Chronicles 6:29 - know Psalms 3:4 - I cried Psalms 17:1 - General Psalms 28:1 - Unto Psalms 57:1 - when Psalms 86:7 - General Psalms 119:145 - cried Psalms 142:7 - my soul Jonah 2:2 - I cried James 5:13 - any among

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I cried unto the Lord with my voice,.... With the voice of his soul, in the language of his mind, mentally, as Moses and Hannah cried unto the Lord when no voice was heard, or articulate sounds expressed, since this prayer was put up to the Lord in the cave where Saul was; though it might have been delivered before he came into it, while he and his men were at the mouth of it, which threw David into this distress; besides the cave was so large as to hold David and his six hundred men without being seen by Saul, and who could discourse together, as David and his men did, without being heard by Saul while he was in it; and so this psalm or prayer might be spoken vocally, though he was there;

with my voice unto the Lord did I make, my supplication: the same thing in other words; "crying" is explained by making "supplication", which is praying to the Lord in an humble manner for grace and mercy, and not pleading merit and worthiness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I cried unto the Lord with my voice - See the notes at Psalms 3:4, where the language is the same. He uttered a loud and audible prayer, though he was alone. It was not a mental ejaculation, but he gave expression to his desires.

With my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication - See Psalms 30:8. The Hebrew word rendered “did make my supplication,” means to implore favor or mercy. It denotes the language of petition and entreaty, not the language of claim.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

PSALM CXLII

The psalmist, in great distress and difficulty, calls upon

God, 1-7.

NOTES ON PSALM CXLII

The title says, "An Instruction of David," or a Psalm of David giving instruction; "A Prayer when he was in the cave."

David was twice in great peril in caves.

1. At the cave of Adullam, when he fled from Achish, king of Gath, 1 Samuel 22:1.

2. When he was in the cave of En-gedi, where he had taken refuge from the pursuit of Saul; and the latter, without knowing that David was in it, had gone into it on some necessary occasion, 1 Samuel 24:1-3.

If the inscription can be depended on, the cave of En-gedi is the most likely of the two, for the scene laid here. But were there doubts concerning the legitimacy of the title, I should refer the Psalm to the state of the captives in Babylon, to which a great part of the Psalms refer. Bishop Horsley calls it "A Prayer of the Messiah taken and deserted." It may be so: but where is the evidence, except in the conjectural system of Origen.
