Psalms 142
142
Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.
1I cry with my voice unto Jehovah;
With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.
2I pour out my complaint before him;
I show before him my trouble.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
Thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walk
Have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on my right hand, and see;
For there is no man that knoweth me:
Refuge hath failed me;
No man careth for my soul.
5I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;
I said, Thou art my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6Attend unto my cry;
For I am brought very low:
Deliver me from my persecutors;
For they are stronger than I.
7Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may give thanks unto thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
