142 - Voce mea ad Dominum

1  I cried unto the Lord with my voice; *
even unto the Lord I made my supplication.
2  I poured out my complaints before him, *
and showed him my trouble.
3  When my spirit was in heaviness, you knew my path; *
in the way wherein I walked they had secretly laid 
a snare for me.
4  I looked also to my right hand *
and saw there was no one who would know me.
5  I had no place to flee to, *
and no one cared for my soul.

6  I cried out to you, O Lord, and said, *
“You are my refuge, and my portion in the land of the living.”
7  Consider my complaint, *
for I am brought very low.
8  O deliver me from my persecutors, *
for they are too strong for me.
9  Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks unto
  your Name. *
When you show me your loving-kindness, then shall the 
righteous gather around me.
