◄ Psalm 142 ►
JPS Tanakh 1917 1Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. 2With my voice I cry unto the LORD; With my voice I make supplication unto the LORD. 3I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble; 4When my spirit fainteth within me— Thou knowest my path— In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me. 5Look on my right hand, and see, For there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; No man careth for my soul. 6I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: ‘Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.’ 7Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are too strong for me. 8Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto Thy name; The righteous shall crown themselves because of me; For Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
