Salmo 142

Great Psalm

1 I cry aloud to the Lord; I raise my voice to the Lord, pleading for mercy.

2 I pour out my lamentation before him; to him I present my anguish.

3 When my spirit is discouraged, you are the one who knows the way I should go. In the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me.

4 Look to my right and see; no one cares about me. I have no safe haven; no one cares about my life.

5 I cry to you, Lord, and say: You are my refuge; you are all I have in the land of the living.

6 Pay attention to my cry, for I am very low; deliver me from those who persecute me, for they are stronger than I am.

7 Release me from prison, and I will give thanks to your name. Then the righteous will gather around me because of your kindness to me.
