142 - Voce mea ad Dominum

1   I cried unto the Lord with my voice; 🞙
    even unto the Lord I made my supplication.

2   I poured out my complaints before him, 🞙
    and showed him my trouble.

3   When my spirit was in heaviness, you knew my path; 🞙
    in the way wherein I walked they had secretly laid a snare for me.

4   I looked also to my right hand 🞙
    and saw there was no one who would know me.

5   I had no place to flee to, 🞙
    and no one cared for my soul.

6   I cried out to you, O Lord, and said, 🞙
    “You are my refuge, and my portion in the land of the living.”

7   Consider my complaint, 🞙
    for I am brought very low.

8   O deliver me from my persecutors, 🞙
    for they are too strong for me.

9   Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks unto your Name. 🞙
    When you show me your loving-kindness, then shall the righteous gather around me.
