Psalms 142:6

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
