Psalm 142

1 I cry out to the LORD ; I plead for the LORD ’s mercy.

1 I cry out loudly to God, loudly I plead with God for mercy.

2 I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.

2 I spill out all my complaints before him, and spell out my troubles in detail:

3 When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.

3 "As I sink in despair, my spirit ebbing away, you know how I'm feeling, Know the danger I'm in, the traps hidden in my path.

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.

4 Look right, look left - there's not a soul who cares what happens! I'm up against it, with no exit - bereft, left alone.

5 Then I pray to you, O LORD . I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.

5 I cry out, God, call out: 'You're my last chance, my only hope for life!'

6 Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

6 Oh listen, please listen; I've never been this low. Rescue me from those who are hunting me down; I'm no match for them.

7 Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”

7 Get me out of this dungeon so I can thank you in public. Your people will form a circle around me and you'll bring me showers of blessing!"
