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.

Psalms 142
142
Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.
1I cry with my voice unto the LORD;
With my voice unto the LORD do I make supplication.
2I pour out my complaint before him;
I shew before him my trouble.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on my right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me:
Refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.
5I cried unto thee, O LORD;
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 give thanks unto thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
