 1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.*

 2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

 3 When 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.

 4 I 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.***

 5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou *art* my refuge *and* my portion in the land of the living.

 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
 
[Psalms 141](/study/psalms/141) [Psalms 143](/study/psalms/143)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
142:1 [Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.] I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I {a} make my supplication. 

(a) David’s patience and constant prayer to God condemns their wicked rage, who in their troubles either despair and murmur against God, or else seek other than God, to have relief in their miseries.
