【Psalms】Psalm 142 << Last Chapter Next Chapter >>

142:1 A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.

142:2 With full voice I cry to the LORD; with full voice I beseech the LORD.

142:3 Before God I pour out my complaint, lay bare my distress.

142:4 My spirit is faint within me, but you know my path. Along the way I walk theyhave hidden a trap for me.

142:5 I look to my right hand, but no friend is there. There is no escape for me;no one cares for me.

142:6 I cry out to you, LORD, I say, You are my refuge, my portion in the land ofthe living.

142:7 Listen to my cry for help, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from mypursuers, for they are too strong for me.

142:8 Lead me out of my prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Then the justshall gather around me because you have been good to me.
