Psalm 142:1-Psalm 143:1 - A Cry Of Distress
1 I shall cry unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice shall I ask the LORD for mercy. 2 I shall pour out my complaint before him; before him I shall tell of my trouble. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou didst know my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me. 4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no one that would know me; I had no refuge; no one cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name; the righteous shall feast with me; when thou shalt have weaned me.
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my supplications for the sake of thy truth; answer me for the sake of thy righteousness.
