142:1  This is a special song that David wrote. He prayed this when he was in the cave. I am calling to the Lord to help me. I ask him to be kind to me.
142:2  I tell him about all my problems. I tell him about all my troubles.
142:3  When I do not feel brave, you are still my guide, Lord. In the path where I walk, my enemies have prepared a trap to catch me.
142:4  Look at me! I have no friend to help me. There is no safe place where I can go. Nobody thinks about me.
142:5  Yes Lord, I am calling to you to help me. You are my safe place where I can hide. You are all that I need in this world where I live.
142:6  Please listen to me as I cry to you. I am very upset! My enemies are trying to catch me. Save me from their power! They are stronger than I am.
142:7  Please take me out of this prison. Then I will praise your name. Your own good people will see how you have helped me. They will meet round me to praise you.
