PS-142:1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I

cried unto the

LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my

supplication.

PS-142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before

him my trouble.

PS-142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou

knewest my path.

In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for

me.

PS-142:4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there

was] no man that

would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

PS-142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge

[and] my

portion in the land of the living.

PS-142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver

me from my

persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

PS-142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name:

 the

righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal

bountifully with me.
