Psalms 142

   |   

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

[a]Maskil of David, when he was [b]in the cave. A Prayer.

1 I (a)cry aloud with my voice to the Lord;
I (b)make supplication with my voice to the Lord.
2 I (c)pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my (d)trouble before Him.
3 When (e)my spirit [c]was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have (f)hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see;
For there is (g)no one who regards me;
[d]There is no (h)escape for me;
(i)No one cares for my soul.

5 I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, "You are (j)my refuge,
My (k)portion in the (l)land of the living.
6 "(m)Give heed to my cry,
For I am (n)brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too (o)strong for me.
7 "(p)Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will (q)deal bountifully with me."
