Psalm 142

1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.YLT — Psalm 142:1

2 I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.YLT — Psalm 142:2

3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.YLT — Psalm 142:3

4 Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.YLT — Psalm 142:4

5 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, ‘Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.’YLT — Psalm 142:5

6 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.YLT — Psalm 142:6

7 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!YLT — Psalm 142:7
