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 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.

      6“Give heed to my cry,
            For I am brought very low;
            Deliver me from my persecutors,
            For they are too strong for me.

      7“Bring 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.”
