Psalm 142
Voce mea ad Dominum.
I CRIED unto the LORD with my voice; yea, even unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
I poured out my complaints before him, and showed him of my trouble.
When my spirit was in heaviness, thou knewest my path; in the way wherein I walked, have they privily laid a snare for me.
I looked also upon my right hand, and saw there was no man that would know me.
I had no place to flee unto, and no man cared for my soul.
I cried unto thee, O LORD, and said, Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.
Consider my complaint; for I am brought very low.
O deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.
Bring 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.
[Coverdale]
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.
I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
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.
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.
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said,
Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
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.
