Context of Psalms 142:2
1I cried unto Yhwh with my voice; with my voice unto Yhwh did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 3When 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. 4I 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.
