When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me (142:3) I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul (142:4) I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living (142:5) Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I (142:6) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me
(142:7)
