Psalms 142

1 A Psalm of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer. I cried to the Lord withmy voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
2 I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.
3 When my spirit was fainting within me, then you knew my paths; in the very waywherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
4 I looked onmy right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and therewas none that cared for my soul.
5 I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of theliving.
6 Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them thatpersecute 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 righteousshall wait for me, until you recompense me.
