Psalm 142 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 142:1(LXX 141:1) A Psalm of instruction for David, when he was in the cave,—a Prayer. (141:2) I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
Psa 142:2(LXX 141:3) I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.
Psa 142:3(LXX 141:4) When my spirit was fainting within me, then thou knewest my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
Psa 142:4(LXX 141:5) I looked on my right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
Psa 142:5(LXX 141:6) I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
Psa 142:6(LXX 141:7) Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
Psa 142:7(LXX 141:8) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until thou recompense me.
