Psalms 142
Psalm 142[a]
A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave.(a) A prayer.
1 I cry aloud(b) to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.(c)
2 I pour out before him my complaint;(d)
before him I tell my trouble.(e)
3 When my spirit grows faint(f) within me,
it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;(g)
no one cares(h) for my life.
5 I cry to you, Lord;
I say, "You are my refuge,(i)
my portion(j) in the land of the living."(k)
6 Listen to my cry,(l)
for I am in desperate need;(m)
rescue me(n) from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong(o) for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,(p)
that I may praise your name.(q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.(r)
