Psalms142
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 walk They 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.”
