←Prev   Psalms 142 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



142:1  A maskil of David when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry out to the Lord. I pray to the Lord for mercy.
142:2  I pour out my problems to him. I tell him my troubles.
142:3  When I am afraid, you, Lord, know the way out. In the path where I walk, a trap is hidden for me.
142:4  Look around me and see. No one cares about me. I have no place of safety. No one cares if I live.
142:5  Lord, I cry out to you. I say, “You are my protection. You are all I want in this life.”
142:6  Listen to my cry because I am helpless. Save me from those who are chasing me. They are too strong for me.
142:7  Free me from my prison. Then I will praise your name. Then the good people will surround me because you have taken care of me.
