A Cry of Distress
1 I cry aloud to the Lord; 142:1 Ps 3:4; 77:1
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy. 142:1 Ps 30:8
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I reveal my trouble to him. 142:2 Ps 77:2; 102 title
3 Although my spirit is weak within me,
you know my way. 142:3 Ps 77:3; 143:4
Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me. 142:3 Ps 140:5
4 Look to the right and see: 142:4 DSS, LXX, Syr, Vg, Tg read I look to the right and I see
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me. 142:4 Ps 69:20; Jr 25:35
