Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 142

'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'¹ Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'² With my voice I cry unto HaShem; with my voice I make supplication unto HaShem.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'³ I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'⁴ When my spirit fainteth within me--Thou knowest my path--in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'⁵ Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'⁶ I have cried unto Thee, O HaShem; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'⁷ Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'⁸ Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
