Psalms142NASB2020
Prayer for Help in Trouble.
Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
1I cry out with my voice to the LORD; With my voice I implore the LORD for compassion.2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him.3When my spirit felt weak within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me.4Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me favorably; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul. 5I cried out to You, LORD;I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.6Give Your attention to my cry, For I have been brought very low; Rescue me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.7Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will look after me.”
