(Psalms 142:4-7) Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul. {5} I cried out to You, O LORD: I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. {6} Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I. {7} Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me."
