Psalm 142
A maskil #142:0 Unknown musical term. by David when he was in the cave; a prayer.
1Loudly, I cry to the Lord.
Loudly, I plead with the Lord for mercy.
2I pour out my complaints in his presence
and tell him my troubles.
3When I begin to lose hope,
you ⌞already⌟ know what I am experiencing.
⌞My enemies⌟ have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
4Look to my right and see that no one notices me.
Escape is impossible for me.
No one cares about me.
5I call out to you, O Lord.
I say, “You are my refuge,
my own inheritance in this world of the living.”
6Pay attention to my cry for help
because I am very weak.
Rescue me from those who pursue me
because they are too strong for me.
7Release my soul from prison
so that I may give thanks to your name.
Righteous people will surround me
because you are good to me.

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.
