Psalm 142

1. With all my voice to God I cry;
   I call upon the LORD Most High.
   Before his face my grief I show
   and tell my trouble and my woe.
   
   
2. To you I pour out my complaint,
   for I am weak, my spirit faint.
   O LORD, I turn to you and pray,
   for it is you who know my way.
   
   
3. Foes in my path have laid a snare.
   I look, but none sees my despair;
   I find no place of refuge near,
   no friend to whom my life is dear.
   
   
4. LORD, hear my cry and comfort me;
   in my distress to you I flee.
   You are my shelter from the strife,
   my portion in the land of life.
   
   
5. O God my Saviour, set me free
   from those who are too strong for me.
   Your servant out of prison bring,
   that thankful praises I may sing.
   
   
6. The righteous then shall gather round
   to share the blessings I have found,
   their hearts made glad because they see
   how richly you have dealt with me.
