Psalms 142 LSV

1. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A PRAYER WHEN HE IS IN THE CAVE. My voice is to YHWH, I cry, my voice is to YHWH, I beg for grace.

2. I pour forth my meditation before Him, i declare my distress before Him.

3. When my spirit has been feeble in me, then You have known my path; In the way in which I walk, they have hid a snare for me.

4. Looking on the right hand—and seeing, and I have none recognizing; Refuge has perished from me, there is none inquiring for my soul.

5. I have cried to you, O YHWH, i have said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6. Attend to my loud cry, for I have become very low, deliver me from my pursuers, for they have been stronger than I.

7. Bring forth my soul from prison to confess Your Name, the righteous surround me about, when You confer benefits on me!
