Psalm 142 Voce mea ad Dominum.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice; * yea, even unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2I poured out my complaints before him, * and showed him of my trouble.

3When my spirit was in heaviness, thou knewest my path; * in the way wherein I walked, have they privily laid a snare for me.

4I looked also upon my right hand, * and saw there was no man that would know me.

5I had no place to flee unto, * and no man cared for my soul.

6I cried unto thee, O LORD, and said, * Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.

7Consider my complaint; * for I am brought very low.

8O deliver me from my persecutors; * for they are too strong for me.

9Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name; * which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.
