Psalms 142:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
