Chapter 142 | |
1 |
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. |
