Psalm 142
This is a special song that David wrote.
He prayed this when he was in the cave. #142:0 David wrote this song in a cave. It is a prayer that David prayed when his enemies were trying to catch him. He does not say who these enemies were. There are two stories about David hiding in a cave. See 1 Samuel 22 and 1 Samuel 24.
Please help me, Lord!
1I am calling to the Lord to help me.
I ask him to be kind to me.
2I tell him about all my problems.
I tell him about all my troubles.
3When I do not feel brave,
you are still my guide, Lord.
In the path where I walk,
my enemies have prepared a trap to catch me.
4Look at me!
I have no friend to help me.
There is no safe place where I can go.
Nobody thinks about me.
5Yes Lord, I am calling to you to help me.
You are my safe place where I can hide.
You are all that I need in this world where I live.
6Please listen to me as I cry to you.
I am very upset!
My enemies are trying to catch me.
Save me from their power!
They are stronger than I am.
7Please take me out of this prison. #142:7 The cave where David was hiding seemed like a prison to him. He could not leave safely unless God helped him.
Then I will praise your name.
Your own good people will see how you have helped me.
They will meet round me to praise you.
