Psalms 142

1 I call to the Lord for help; I plead with him.

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

2 I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.

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

3 When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do. In the path where I walk, my enemies have hidden a trap 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 When I look beside me, I see that there is no one to help me, no one to protect me. No one cares 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 Lord, I cry to you for help; you, Lord, are my protector; 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 for help, for I am sunk in despair. Save me from my enemies; 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 Set me free from my distress; then in the assembly of your people I will praise you because of your goodness to 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.
