Psalms 142

Psalm 142^a

A maskilb of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

I cry aloud to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.

A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

A Contemplation[a] of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.

I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.

I pour out before him my complaint;
before him I tell my trouble.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.

When my spirit [b]was overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly set a snare for me.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.

Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”

I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.

[c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.

Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.

Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
