Holy Scripture
Psalms 142:6
A church father on this verse
“Attend to my supplication, for I have been humbled exceedingly. Unless someone has been humbled, he is not heard by the Lord. For what does it profit anyone to pray with words and to keep his neck held erect? But if we understand it of the Lord: "Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart."”

In context
4Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; My heart was troubled within me.
5I remembered the days of old; And I meditated on all thy doings: Yea, I meditated on the works of thy hands.
— Psalms 142:6 —
7Hear me speedily, O Lord; My spirit has failed; Turn not away thy face from me, Else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
8Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; For I have hoped in thee; Make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; For I have lifted up my soul to thee.
