Psalm 142:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 I cry out to you, Lord,
I say, You are my refuge,(A)
my portion in the land of the living.(B)
7 Listen to my cry for help,
for I am brought very low.(C)
Rescue me from my pursuers,
for they are too strong for me.
8 Lead my soul from prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
Then the righteous shall gather around me[a]
because you have been good to me.
