Psalm 142:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ I cry to thee, O Lord;
    I say, Thou art my refuge,
    my portion in the land of the living.
⁶ Give heed to my cry;
    for I am brought very low!

Deliver me from my persecutors;
    for they are too strong for me!
⁷ Bring me out of prison,
    that I may give thanks to thy name!
The righteous will surround me;
    for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
