Context of Psalms 142:7

5Look at my right hand and see, for no one cares about me. I have no refuge— no one cares for my soul. 6I have cried out to You, Adonai. I said: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” Listen to my cry, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. 8Bring my soul out of prison, so I may praise Your Name. The righteous will triumph through me, for You will reward me.
