Psalm 142

A prayer of David when he was in the cave. A maskil.

1I call out to the Lord.

I pray to him for his favor.

2I pour out my problem to him.

I tell him about my trouble.

3When I grow weak,

you know what I’m going through.

In the path where I walk,

people have hidden a trap to catch me.

4Look around me, and you will see

that no one is concerned about me.

I have no place of safety.

No one cares whether I live or die.

5Lord, I cry out to you.

I say, “You are my place of safety.

You are everything I need in this life.”

6Listen to my cry.

I am in great need.

Save me from those who are chasing me.

They are too strong for me.

7My troubles are like a prison.

Set me free so I can praise your name.

Then those who do what is right will gather around me

because you have been good to me.
