Psalm 142:1-6 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
A psalm of David, regarding his experience in the cave. A prayer. I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD's mercy.
2
I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.
3
For I am overwhelmed, and you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.
4
I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.
5
Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, "You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.
6
Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
