Psalms Chapter 142

1aAn Instructive Psalm of David when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1bI cried out to the Lord with my voice;

With my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

2I poured out my grievance before him;

I told him in his presence of my distress

3When my spirit fainted within me,

But you knew my path,

On the way along which I went

When they had laid a snare for me.

4Look to the right and see

That I have no-one who recognizes me.

I have lost the opportunity for a refuge;

There is no-one who cares for my life.

5I cried out to you, O Lord.

I said, “You are my refuge

– My portion in the land of the living.”

6Hearken to my cry,

For I am very much reduced.

Deliver me from those who pursue me,

For they are stronger than I.

7Do get me alive out of confinement

So as to give thanks to your name.

The righteous will surround me,

For you have recompensed me.
