← Psalms 142:2	Psalms 142:3 (KJV)	Psalms 142:4 →
I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.	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.	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.
