Psalms Chapter 142
A Maskil of David when he was in the cave
A Prayer
1 I cry out to Yahveh
and petition him;
2I pour out my complaint to him
and tell him my troubles.
3 When I feel overwhelmed,
he knows the route I should take;
they’ve hidden traps for me
on every path I walk.
4 I look in every direction,
but nobody notices me.
There’s no escape for me;
nobody cares if I live.
Ps 142:1-4
5 I’m calling out to you, Yahveh;
“You’re my refuge,
my portion among the living.
6Listen to my outcry
because I’m in desperate need;
deliver me from my persecutors;
they’re just too strong.
7Bring me out of prison
so I can thank you;
the godly gather around me
because you’ve been so good to me.”
Ps 142:5-7
