PSALM 142

A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. 

1 

I cry aloud to the Lord;
    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.

2 

I pour out before him my complaint;
    before him I tell my trouble.

3 

When my spirit grows faint 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;
    no one cares for my life.

5 

I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, ‘You are my refuge,
    my portion in the land of the living.’

6 

Listen to my cry,
    for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong for me.

7 

Set me free from my prison,
    that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.
