PSALM 142
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
Maschil of David;
A Prayer when he was in the cave.
1I with my voice cry'd to the Lord,
with it made my request:
2Pour'd out to him my plaint, to him
my trouble I exprest.
3When in me was o'erwhelm'd my sp'rit,
then well thou knew'st my way;
Where I did walk a snare for me
they privily did lay.
4I look'd on my right hand, and view'd,
but none to know me were;
All refuge failed me, no man
did for my soul take care.
5I cry'd to thee; I said, Thou art
my refuge, Lord, alone;
And in the land of those that live
thou art my portion.
6Because I am brought very low,
attend unto my cry:
Me from my persecutors save,
who stronger are than I.
7From prison bring my soul, that I
thy name may glorify:
The just shall compass me, when thou
with me deal'st bounteously.

Psalm 142
142
Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.
1I cried unto the LORD with my voice;
With my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
2I poured out my complaint before him;
I shewed before him my trouble.
3When 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.
4I 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.
5I cried unto thee, O LORD:
I said, Thou art my refuge and 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 praise thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
For thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
