Psalm 142

Voce mea ad Dominum

1
I cry to the LORD with my voice;
to the LORD I make loud supplication.
2
I pour out my complaint before him
and tell him all my trouble.
3
When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path;
in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4
I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me;
I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me.
5
I cry out to you, O LORD ;
I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
6
Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low;
save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7
Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name;
when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me.
