Psalms 142:3-7

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

4. 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

5. 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.
