Psalm 142

Voce mea ad Dominum

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 7 verses

  1. 1

    I cry to the LORD with my voice; *
    to the LORD I make loud supplication.

  2. 2

    I pour out my complaint before him *
    and tell him all my trouble.

  3. 3

    When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path; *
    in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

  4. 4

    I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me; *
    I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me.

  5. 5

    I cry out to you, O LORD; *
    I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

  6. 6

    Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low; *
    save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

  7. 7

    Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name; *
    when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me.
