Psalm 142:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Prayer for Deliverance from Persecutors

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

142 I cry with my voice to the Lord,
    with my voice I make supplication to the Lord,
²I pour out my complaint before him,
    I tell my trouble before him.
³When my spirit is faint,
    thou knowest my way!

In the path where I walk
they have hidden a trap for me.
