142
1 With my voice I cry to the LORD;
with my voice I plead for the LORD’s grace.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
3 When my spirit faints within me, you know my path.
Along the way I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see: no one acknowledges me.
No escape remains for me;
no one cares for my life.
5 I cry to you, LORD;
I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought very low;
rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me, for you will deal generously with me.
