Psa 142 | AB | STEP | I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

Psalms 142

A Psalm of instruction for David, when he was in the cave-A Prayer.

1 I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord. 2 I will pour out my supplication before Him. I will declare before Him my affliction. 3 When my spirit was fainting within me, then You knew my paths; in the very way in which I was walking, they hid a snare for me. 4 I looked on my right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul. 5 I cried unto You, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to Your name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until You recompense me.
