   Psalms 142   
   [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 143   
   [1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness   
   answer me, and in thy righteousness. [2] And enter not into judgment with thy   
   servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.   
   [3] For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the   
   ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long   
   dead.   
   [4] Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is   
   desolate.   
   [5] I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the   
   work of thy hands.   
   [6] I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a   
   thirsty land. Selah.   
   [7] Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me,   
   lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. [8] Cause me to hear thy   
   lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the   
   way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.   
   [9] Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. [10]   
   Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into   
   the land of uprightness.   
   [11] Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake   
   bring my soul out of trouble.   
   [12] And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict   
   my soul: for I am thy servant.   
      
   Psalms 144   
   [1] Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my   
   fingers to fight:   
   [2] My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield,   
   and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. [3] LORD, what is   
   man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest   
   account of him!   
   [4] Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. [5] Bow   
   thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.   
   [6] Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and   
   destroy them.   
   [7] Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters,   
   from the hand of strange children;   
   [8] Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of   
   falsehood.   
   [9] I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument   
   of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. [10] It is he that giveth   
   salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.   
   [11] Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth   
   speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: [12] That   
   our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be   
   as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:   
   [13] That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our   
   sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: [14] That   
   our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out;   
   that there be no complaining in our streets. [15] Happy is that people, that   
   is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
