142.5 :I have no way to flee;
 * No man careth for my soul.


 * I have cried unto Thee, O ;
 * I have said: 'Thou art my refuge,
 * My portion in the land of the living.'
 * Attend unto my cry;
 * For I am brought very low;
 * Deliver me from my persecutors;
 * For they are too strong for me.
 * Bring my soul out of prison,
 * That I may give thanks unto Thy name;
 * The righteous shall crown themselves because of me;
 * For Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

A Psalm of David.


 * O, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications;
 * In Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
 * And enter not into judgment with Thy servant;
 * For in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.


 * For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;
 * He hath crushed my life down to the ground;
 * He hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
 * And my spirit fainteth within me;
 * My heart within me is appalled.


 * I remember the days of old;
 * I meditate on all Thy doing;
 * I muse on the work of Thy hands.
 * I spread forth my hands unto Thee;
 * My soul [thirsteth] after Thee, as a weary land. Selah


 * Answer me speedily, O ,
 * My spirit faileth;
 * Hide not Thy face from me;
 * Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
 * Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning,
 * For in Thee do I trust;
 * Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk,
 * For unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.


 * Deliver me from mine enemies, O ;
 * With Thee have I hidden myself.
 * Teach me to do Thy will,
 * For Thou art my God;
 * Let Thy good spirit
 * Lead me in an even land.
 * For Thy name's sake, O, quicken me;
 * In Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
 * And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies,
 * And destroy all them that harass my soul;
 * For I am Thy servant.

[A Psalm] of David.


 * Blessed be the my Rock,
 * Who traineth my hands for war,
 * And my fingers for battle;
 * My lovingkindness, and my fortress,
 * My high tower, and my deliverer;
 * My shield, and He in whom I take refuge;
 * Who subdueth my people under me.


 * , what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him?
 * Or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him?
 * Man is like unto a breath;
