Psalms 142:2

¹ I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
