Psalms 142
King James Version

1 I cried unto the Lord with my voice;

with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.​

2 I poured out my complaint before him;

I shewed before him my trouble.​

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,

then thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walked
have they privily laid a snare for me.​

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld,

but there was no man that would know me:
refuge failed me;
no man cared for my soul.​

5 I cried unto thee, O Lord:

I said, Thou art my refuge
and my portion in the land of the living.​

6 Attend unto my cry;

for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors;
for they are stronger than I.​

7 Bring my soul out of prison,

that I may praise thy name:
the righteous shall compass me about;
for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

You Are My Refuge​
