PSALM 142
An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.
1I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication. 2I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble. 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul. 5I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. 6Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I. 7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with 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.
