Psalm 142:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away,
Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is

appalled within me.

And He *took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

For the Lord

knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.

You have tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tested me and You find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.

“But He knows the way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
For You are my strength.

For without cause they hid their net for me;
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

They

attack, they lurk,

They watch my steps,
As they have waited to take my life.

The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah.

Keep me from the

jaws of the trap which they have set for me,

And from the snares of those who do iniquity.

May an outcry be heard from their houses,
When You suddenly bring raiders upon them;

For they have dug a pit to capture me

And hidden snares for my feet.

Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You,
For You will answer me.

I called on Your name, O Lord,
Out of the lowest pit.
