Psalm 142
Voce mea ad Dominum
- I CRIED unto the LORD with my voice; yea, even unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
- I poured out my complaints before him, and showed him of my trouble.
- When my spirit was in heaviness, thou knewest my path; in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
- I looked also upon my right hand, and saw there was no man that would know me.
- I had no place to flee unto, and no man cared for my soul.
- I cried unto thee, O LORD, and said, Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.
- Consider my complaint; for I am brought very low.
- O deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.
- Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name; which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.
