142:1 A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.
142:2 With my own voice I cry to the Lord; with my own voice I beseech the Lord.
142:3 Before him I pour out my complaint, tell of my distress in front of him.
142:4 When my spirit is faint within me, you know my path. As I go along this path, they have hidden a trap for me.
142:5 I look to my right hand to see that there is no one willing to acknowledge me. My escape has perished; no one cares for me.
142:6 I cry out to you, Lord, I say, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
142:7 Listen to my cry for help, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.
142:8 Lead my soul from prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Then the righteous shall gather around me because you have been good to me.
