Testaments

Psalms - Chapter 142 - King James Version

  1. I cried unto theLORDwith my voice; with my voice unto theLORDdid I make my supplication.
  2. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed 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 privily laid a snare for me.
  4. I looked onmyright hand, and beheld, butthere wasno man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
  5. I cried unto thee, OLORD: I said, Thouartmy refugeandmy 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 praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
