Psalms

An Instructive Psalm of David. When he was in the Cave. A Prayer.

142 With my voice—to Yahweh make I outcry, With my voice—to Yahweh make I supplication:

2 I pour out before him my complaint, My distress—before him I tell.

3 When my spirit fainted concerning myself Then thou didst take note of my path,—In the course which I was about to take They had hidden a snare for me.

4 Look to the right hand and see That there is none that for me hath regard,—Escape is lost to me, There is no one to care for my life.

5 I have made outcry unto thee, O Yahweh,—I have said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend thou unto my loud cry For I am brought very low,—Rescue me from my pursuers, For they are stronger than I.

7 O bring forth out of prison my soul That I may give thanks unto thy Name,—About me let the righteous gather round, For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
