Psalm 142

¹I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
²I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
⁴I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
⁶Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 146

²While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

⁸The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
⁹The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
¹⁰The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
