Psalm 142
Voce mea ad Dominum
1 I CRIED unto the Lord with my voice * yea, even unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaints before him * and shewed him of my trouble.
3 When my spirit was in heaviness thou knewest my path * in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked also upon my right hand * and saw there was no man that would know me.
5 I had no place to flee unto * and no man cared for my soul.
6 I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said * Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.
7 Consider my complaint * for I am brought very low.
8 O deliver me from my persecutors * for they are too strong for me.
9 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name * which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.
