I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
Psalm 142:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 142.
1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
5 I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
