Psalm 142


Prayer for Help in Trouble.

1Maskil of David, when he was 2in the cave. A Prayer.

I acry aloud with my voice to the Lord;
I bmake supplication with my voice to the Lord.

2
I apour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my btrouble before Him.

3
When amy spirit 1was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have bhidden a trap for me.

4
Look to the right and see;
For there is ano one who regards me;
1There is no bescape for me;
cNo one cares for my soul.


5
I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are amy refuge,
My bportion in the cland of the living.

6
aGive heed to my cry,
For I am bbrought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too cstrong for me.

7
aBring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will bdeal bountifully with me.”
