Psalm 142 - 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

You are here: Home 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Psalm 142

142 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

2 I poured out my complaint before Him; I laid before Him my trouble.

3 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.

4 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.

5 I cried unto Thee, O Lord; I said, “Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

7 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.”
