Psalms 141 — LXXSB

(142) A Psalm of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer.

141Verse 1I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
^{Verse 2}I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him my affliction.
^{Verse 3}When my spirit was fainting within me, then you knew my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
^{Verse 4}I looked on my right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
^{Verse 5}I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
^{Verse 6}Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
^{Verse 7}Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until you recompense me.
