Psalm 142 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.}\par\par\tab I cry with my voice unto Jehovah;\par\tab With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

² I pour out my complaint before him;\par\tab I show before him my trouble.

³ When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,\par\tab Thou knewest my path.\par\tab In the way wherein I walk\par\tab Have they hidden a snare for me.

⁴ Look on {\i my} right hand, and see;\par\tab For there is no man that knoweth me:\par\tab Refuge hath failed me;\par\tab No man careth for my soul.

⁵ I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;\par\tab I said, Thou art my refuge,\par\tab My portion in the land of the living.

⁶ Attend unto my cry;\par\tab For I am brought very low:\par\tab Deliver me from my persecutors;\par\tab For they are stronger than I.

⁷ Bring my soul out of prison,\par\tab That I may give thanks unto thy name:\par\tab The righteous shall compass me about;\par\tab For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
