Psalm 142

Vers 1

With all my voice to God I cry;
I call upon the LORD Most High.
Before his face my grief I show
and tell my trouble and my woe.

Vers 2

To you I pour out my complaint,
for I am weak, my spirit faint.
O LORD, I turn to you and pray,
for it is you who know my way.

Vers 3

Foes in my path have laid a snare
I look, but none sees my despair;
I find no place of refuge near,
no friend to whom my life is dear.

Vers 4

LORD, hear my cry and comfort me;
in my distress to you I flee.
You are my shelter from the strife,
my portion in the land of life.

Vers 5

O God my Saviour, set me free
from those who are too strong for me.
Your servant out of prison bring,
that thankful praises I may sing.

Vers 6

The righteous then shall gather round
to share the blessings I have found,
their hearts made glad because they see
how richly you have dealt with me.
