Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 142
A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
I cry with my voice to Yahweh.
With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.1Sa 24:3
I pour out my complaint before him.
I tell him my troubles.Psa 102:0
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
you knew my route.
On the path in which I walk,
they have hidden a snare for me.Psa 140:5; Jer 18:22
Look on my right, and see;
for there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul.Pro 29:10
I cried to you, Yahweh.
I said, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”Psa 16:5; Psa 27:13; Psa 91:2
Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
Bring my soul out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will be good to me.Psa 143:11
