Psalm 142: Psalm 142

Patmos, C.M. [F]

1. 1 To Thee, O LORD, I lift my voice;
I supplication make,
2 Pour out my plaint before the LORD,
To Him my trouble take.

2. 3 Ev'n when my soul is overwhelmed,
Thou knowest well my way.
Within the way in which I walk
A snare for me they lay.

3. 4 Upon my right hand look and see;
There's none to know me there.
All refuge faileth me, and none
Has for my soul a care.

4. 5 To Thee I cried, O LORD, and said,
Thou my sure refuge art,
And in the land of those that live,
The portion of my heart.

5. 6 Since I am brought exceeding low,
Attend upon my cry;
Save me from persecuting foes
Who stronger are than I.

6. 7 From prison bring my soul, that I
With thanks Thy name may bless;
When Thou art bountiful to me
The just shall round me press.
