Salmos 142:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 142:2

I poured out my complaint before him
Not a complaint of the Lord and of his providences, but of himself; of his sins, and particularly his unbelief; and also of them that persecuted and afflicted him; which he "poured" out from the abundance of his heart, and in the bitterness of his soul; denoting the fulness of his prayer, his freedom in it, the power and fervency of it, and which he left before the Lord, and submitted to his will; see ( Psalms 102:1 ) , title;

I showed before him my trouble;
the present trouble he was in, being pursued and surrounded by Saul and his army; not as if the Lord was ignorant of it, and did not see and observe it, but to affect his own soul with it, to exercise grace under it, and ease his burdened and distressed mind; the best of men have their troubles both within and without, and the way to be rid of them is to carry them to the Lord.

2 Expongo mis quejas delante de él
y le cuento todos mis problemas.

3 Cuando me siento agobiado,
solo tú sabes qué camino debo tomar.
Vaya adonde vaya,
mis enemigos me han tendido trampas.

4 Busco a alguien que venga a ayudarme,
¡pero a nadie se le ocurre hacerlo!
Nadie me ayudará;
a nadie le importa un bledo lo que me pasa.

5 Entonces oro a ti, oh Señor
,
y digo: «Tú eres mi lugar de refugio.
En verdad, eres todo lo que quiero en la vida.
