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. |
