Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #142

Psalms 142 1. <Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock.> The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord. 2. I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble. 3. When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go. 4. Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul. 5. I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living. ; AB Lausanne church
