Psalm 142:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ I cried to you, Yahweh.
    I said, “You are my refuge,
    my portion in the land of the living.”
⁶ Listen to my cry,
    for I am in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
    for they are too strong for me.
⁷ Bring my soul out of prison,
    that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
    for you will be good to me.
