The Book of Psalms, Chapter 142
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
