Psalm 141 — The Holy Bible

Understanding; by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer.

I cried to the Lord with my voice,

With my voice I prayed to the Lord.

I shall pour out my supplication before Him;

I shall declare my affliction in His presence.

When my spirit fainted within me,

Then You knew my paths;

For on the way I was going, they hid a trap for me.

I looked on my right, and saw

There was no one who knew me;

Refuge failed me,

And there was no one who cared for my soul.

I cried to You, O Lord;

I said, “You are my hope,

My portion in the land of the living.

Attend to my supplication,

For I was humbled exceedingly;

Deliver me from my persecutors,

For they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison

To give thanks to Your name, O Lord;

The righteous shall wait for me, until You reward me.”
