Psalms 142 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1885, 1895(RV1895)

Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

1I cry with my voice unto the LORD;

With my voice unto the LORD do I make supplication.

2I pour out my complaint before him;

I shew before him my trouble.

3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path.

In the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

4Look on my right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me:

Refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

5I cried unto thee, O LORD;

I said, Thou art my refuge,

My portion in the land of the living.

6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low:

Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy name:

The righteous shall compass me about;

for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
