A Prayer for Help#Ps 142 Hebrew title: A poem by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer.#1 Sam 22.1; 24.3
1I call to the LORD for help;
I plead with him.
2I bring him all my complaints;
I tell him all my troubles.
3When I am ready to give up,
he knows what I should do.
In the path where I walk,
my enemies have hidden a trap for me.
4When I look beside me,
I see that there is no one to help me,
no one to protect me.
No one cares for me.
5 LORD, I cry to you for help;
you, LORD, are my protector;
you are all I want in this life.
6Listen to my cry for help,
for I am sunk in despair.
Save me from my enemies;
they are too strong for me.
7Set me free from my distress;#142.7 distress; or prison.
then in the assembly of your people I will praise you
because of your goodness to me.

Psalms 142
142
A Refuge from Trouble
1A contemplative poem of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer.
2I cry aloud with my voice to Adonai. With my voice I seek favor from Adonai.
3I pour out my complaint before Him, before Him I tell my trouble.
4When my spirit grows faint within me, You know my path. In the way where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
5Look at my right hand and see, for no one cares about me. I have no refuge— no one cares for my soul.
6I have cried out to You, Adonai. I said: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
7Listen to my cry, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
8Bring my soul out of prison, so I may praise Your Name. The righteous will triumph through me, for You will reward me.
