[ Read](/kjv/psalms/142)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/142)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/142) Audio

 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
 
**With my voice;**either, 

1. With the voice of my soul. But so this addition would be superfluous, and much more the repetition of it, because that is necessarily implied in the former word, 

**I cried,**and in the following, *I make my supplication*. Or rather, 

2. With my corporeal voice, which the fervour of my soul forced me to use, when I could not do it without some danger, the enemy being at the mouth of the cave. And so this addition is emphatical, and therefore is repeated. But it is probable that David spoke with a low voice; and that he might do so without very great danger, is manifest from that discourse which passed between David and his men, even when Saul was entered into the cave, [1 Samuel 24:4-7](/kjv/1-samuel/24/4-7).
