Psalms 142
142
PSALM 142
An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.
1I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. 2I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble. 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul. 5I cried unto thee, 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 celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.
