| Chapter 142 |
1 |
{An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.} I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. -
|
2 |
I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble. -
|
3 |
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me. -
|
4 |
Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul. -
|
5 |
I cried unto thee, 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 celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me. -
