Psalms, Psalm 142

I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD;
I make supplication with my voice to the LORD.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my trouble before Him.

When my spirit^awas overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.

⁴

Look to the right and see;
For there is no one who regards me;
^bThere is no escape for me;
No one cares for my soul.

⁵

I cried out to You, O LORD;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

⁶

“Give heed to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too strong for me.

⁷

“Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”
