Psalm 142:5–7

5  I cry to you, O Lord;

I say, “You are my urefuge,

my vportion in wthe land of the living.”

6  xAttend to my cry,

for yI am brought very low!

Deliver me from my persecutors,

zfor they are too strong for me!

7  aBring me out of prison,

that I may give thanks to your name!

The righteous will surround me,

for you will bdeal bountifully with me.
