Psalms 142

1 I cry out to the Lord; I pray to the Lord for mercy.

1 I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.

2 I pour out my problems to him; I tell him my troubles.

2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.

3 When I am afraid, you, Lord, know the way out. In the path where I walk, a trap is hidden for me.

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 around me and see. No one cares about me. I have no place of safety; no one cares if I live.

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 Lord, I cry out to you. I say, "You are my protection. You are all I want in this 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, because I am helpless. Save me from those who are chasing me, because they are too strong for me.

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 Free me from my prison, and then I will praise your name. Then good people will surround me, because you have taken care of me. A psalm of David.

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.
