Psalms 142

(a)A Prayer for Help[a]

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.
7 Set me free from my distress;[b]
    then in the assembly of your people I will praise you
    because of your goodness to me.
