Psalms 142:1-6

1 I call to the Lord for help; I plead with him.
2 I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.
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.
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.
5 Lord, I cry to you for help; you, Lord, are my protector; you are all I want in this life.
6 Listen to my cry for help, for I am sunk in despair. Save me from my enemies; they are too strong for me.
