26 Psalms 142


1I cried to Yahvah with my voice; with my voice to Yahvah, I made my supplication.
2I poured out my complaint before him; I showed my trouble before him.


3When my spirit was overwhelmed inside me, then you knew my path. In the way where I walked, they have secretly laid a snare for me.
4I looked on my right hand, and there was no one to advise me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.


5I cried to you, Yahvah; I said, You are my hope and my portion, Yahvah, in the land of the living.
6Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name; your righteous will wait for me until you will reward me.

Relief Arriving Haiti

No one cared for the soul of the country. (verse 4)
