Psalm 142:1–5
1 I cry aloud to the Lord;ad
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.ae
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I reveal my trouble to him.af
3 Although my spirit is weak within me,
you know my way.a
Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.b
4 Look to the right and see:A
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me.c
I say, “You are my shelter,
my portion in the land of the living.”d
