Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 142
A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer.
I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.1Sa 24:3
I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.Psa 102:0
When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.Psa 140:5; Jer 18:22
I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.Pro 29:10
I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.142:5. Literally, “you are my portion in the land of the living.”Psa 16:5; Psa 27:13; Psa 91:2
Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.
Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”Psa 143:11
