Psalms 142
1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my
supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the
way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know
me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the
land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors;
for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall
compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
