Chapter 142
- You Are My Refuge A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Adonai.
- I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
- When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
- Look to the right and see : there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul.
- I cry to you, O Lord; I say, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
- Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!
- Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
