Psalms 142

    Psalm 142[1] A maskil[2] of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.
  1. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
  2. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
  3. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
  4. Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
  5. I cry to you, LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
  6. Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
  7. Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
  1. In Hebrew texts 142:1-7 is numbered 142:2-8.
  2. Title: Probably a literary or musical term
