I cried to you, LORD.
I said, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 142:5 in context
Psalms 142:2–7
2
I pour out my complaint before him.
I tell him my troubles.
3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
you knew my route.
On the path in which I walk,
they have hidden a snare for me.
4
Look on my right, and see;
for there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul.
5
Selected verse
I cried to you, LORD.
I said, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
6
Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
7
Bring my soul out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will be good to me.
