Psalms 142

ASV(i) 1 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

I cry with my voice unto Jehovah;
With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. 2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I show before him my trouble. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
Thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walk
Have they hidden a snare for me. 4 Look on [my] right hand, and see;
For there is no man that knoweth me:
Refuge hath failed me;
No man careth for my soul. 5 I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;
I said, Thou art my refuge,
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 give thanks unto thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
