Psalms 142
142
Psalm 142#In Hebrew texts 142:1-7 is numbered 142:2-8.
A maskil#Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.
1I cry aloud to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
2I pour out before him my complaint;
before him I tell my trouble.
3When 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.
4Look 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.
5I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
6Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.
7Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.

Tehillim (Psalms) 142
142
1I cry out to יהוה with my voice; I pray to יהוה with my voice.
2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my distress.
3When my spirit grew faint within me, Then You know my path. In the way in which I walk They have hidden a trap for me.
4Look to the right hand and see, And no one is concerned for me; No refuge remains to me; No one inquires after my being.
5I cried out to You, O יהוה: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
6“Listen to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.
7“Bring my being out of prison, To give thanks to Your Name. Let the righteous gather around me, Because You deal kindly with me.”
