Psalms 142
PSALM 142 Prayer for Help in Trouble. Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
1I cry aloud with my voice to the Lord;I make supplication with my voice to the Lord.
2I pour out my complaint before Him;I declare my trouble before Him.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,You knew my path.In the way where I walkThey have hidden a trap for me.
4Look to the right and see;For there is no one who regards me;There is no escape for me;No one cares for my soul.
5I cried out to You, O Lord;I said, “You are my refuge,My portion in the land of the living.
6Give heed to my cry,For I am brought very low;Deliver me from my persecutors,For they are too strong for me.
7Bring my soul out of prison,So that I may give thanks to Your name;The righteous will surround me,For You will deal bountifully with me.”
