Psalms 142

Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.Maschil…: or, A Psalm of David, giving instruction.

1I criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068 with my voiceH6963; with my voiceH6963 unto YhwhH3068 did I make my supplicationH2603.

2I poured outH8210 my complaintH7879 beforeH6440 him; I shewedH5046 beforeH6440 him my troubleH6869.

3When my spiritH7307 was overwhelmedH5848 within me, then thou knewestH3045 my pathH5410. In the wayH734 whereinH2098 I walkedH1980 have they privily laidH2934 a snareH6341 for me.

4I lookedH5027 on my right handH3225, and beheldH7200, but there was no man that would knowH5234 me: refugeH4498 failedH6 me; no man caredH1875 for my soulH5315.123

5I criedH2199 unto thee, O YhwhH3068: I saidH559, Thou art my refugeH4268 and my portionH2506 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.

6AttendH7181 unto my cryH7440; for I am broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809: deliverH5337 me from my persecutorsH7291; for they are strongerH553 than I.

7BringH3318 my soulH5315 out of prisonH4525, that I may praiseH3034 thy nameH8034: the righteousH6662 shall compass me aboutH3803; for thou shalt deal bountifullyH1580 with me.
