I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD... I pour out my complaint... I declare my trouble before Him. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path... There is no escape for me; no one cares for my soul. I cried out to You, O LORD; I said, 'You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. Give heed to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may give thanks to Your name...(Psalm 142:1-7, NASB)
The enemy has persecuted my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, like those who have long been dead. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed... I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land... Do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit.(Psalm 143:3-7, NKJV)
I called on your name, O LORD, from the lowest pit. You have heard my voice: Do not hide your ear from my sighing, from my cry for help. You drew near on the day I called on You, and said, do not fear! O LORD, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.(Lam 3:55-58, NKJV)
In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue...for the sake of Your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me... Into your hands I commit my spirit...(Psalm 31:1-5, NIV)
The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you...(Psalm 37:32-34, NKJV)
If the LORD had not been on our side... then they would have devoured us... the flood waters would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have flooded over us... Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey... Our help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.(Psalm 124:1-8, ISV)
