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.

Psalms 142
142
A Prayer for Safety
A maskil of David when he was in the cave. A prayer.
1I cry out to the Lord;
I pray to the Lord for mercy.
2I pour out my problems to him;
I tell him my troubles.
3When I am afraid,
you, Lord, know the way out.
In the path where I walk,
a trap is hidden for me.
4Look around me and see.
No one cares about me.
I have no place of safety;
no one cares if I live.
5Lord, I cry out to you.
I say, “You are my protection.
You are all I want in this life.”
6Listen to my cry,
because I am helpless.
Save me from those who are chasing me,
because they are too strong for me.
7Free me from my prison,
and then I will praise your name.
Then good people will surround me,
because you have taken care of me.
