Psalm 142:6

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face? Wilt thou clean forget our misery and oppression?

O remember not our old sins, but have mercy upon us, and that soon; for we are come to great misery.

The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought down in misery and he helped me.

Who remembereth us, when we are in trouble! For his mercy endureth forever.

For the enemy persecuteth my soul; he smiteth my life down to the ground; he layeth me in the darkness, as the dead men of the world.

{A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise against me.

But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and they that hate me wrongfully are many in number.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproof of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and truth.

For lo, they lie in waiting for my soul; the mighty men are gathered together against me, without any offense or fault of me, O LORD.

After whom art thou come out, thou king of Israel? After whom chasest thou? Even after a dead dog, and after a flea!

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth:

{Kuf} I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the deep pit.
