142:1  (A special psalm and a prayer by David when he was in the cave.) I pray to you, Lord. I beg for mercy.
142:2  I tell you all my worries and my troubles,
142:3  and whenever I feel low, you are there to guide me. A trap has been hidden along my pathway.
142:4  Even if you look, you won't see anyone who cares enough to walk beside me. There is no place to hide, and no one who really cares.
142:5  I pray to you, Lord! You are my place of safety, and you are my choice in the land of the living. Please answer my prayer. I am completely helpless.
142:6  Help! They are chasing me, and they are too strong.
142:7  Rescue me from this prison, so I can praise your name. And when your people notice your wonderful kindness to me, they will rush to my side.
