Psalms 142

142:1 +

142:2 \142:1\A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to the LORD, with my voice I make supplication to the LORD,

142:3 \142:2\I pour out my complaint before him, I tell my trouble before him.

142:4 \142:3\When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

142:5 \142:4\I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me, no man cares for me.

142:6 \142:5\I cry to thee, O LORD; I say, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

142:7 \142:6\Give heed to my cry; for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me!
