142:1  A Contemplative Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made my supplication unto the Lord.
142:2  I poured out my complaint before Him; I declared to Him my trouble.
142:3  When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way where I walk, they have laid a snare for me.
142:4  I looked on my right and noticed, but there was no one who would care for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
142:5  I cried unto You, O Lord; I said, “You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.”
142:6  Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than me.
142:7  Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Your name; the righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.
