Psalm 142. Voce mea ad Dominum.

1. I cry to the Lord with my voice; *
   to the Lord I make loud supplication.
2. I pour out my complaint before him *
   and tell him all my trouble.
3. When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path; *
   in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4. I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me; *
   I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me.
5. I cry out to you, O Lord; *
   I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
6. Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low; *
   save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7. Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name; *
   when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me.
