PSALM 142
Maschil of David; A Prayer when he
was in the cave.
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.
4I lookeda
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.
