Chapter 142
- 142:1
- I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my
supplication.
- 142:2
- I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
- 142:3
- 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.
- 142:4
- 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.
- 142:5
- I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the
living.
- 142:6
- Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they
are stronger than I.
- 142:7
- 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.
