Dauid sheweth that in his trouble, all his comfort was in prayer vnto God.

¶ Maschil of Dauid; A prayer when he was in the caue.

CXLII ¶ I cried vnto the LORD with my voice: with my voice vnto the LORD did I make my supplication. 2 I powred out my complaint before him: I shewed before him my trouble. 3 When my spirit was ouerwhelmed within mee, then thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked, haue they priuily laid a snare for me. 4 [fn][fn][fn]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 soule. 5 I cried vnto thee, O LORD, I said, Thou art my refuge, and my portion in the land of the liuing. 6 Attend vnto my crie, for I am brought very low, deliuer mee from my persecuters: for they are stronger then I. 7 Bring my soule out of prison, that I may praise thy Name: the righteous shall compasse me about: for thou shalt deale bountifully with me.
