THE MESSAGE

Psalms 142

A David Prayer—When He Was in the Cave

1 1-2 I cry out loudly to God,
    loudly I plead with God for mercy.
I spill out all my complaints before him,
    and spell out my troubles in detail:3-7 "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.
Look right, look left—
    there's not a soul who cares what happens!
I'm up against it, with no exit—
    bereft, left alone.
I cry out, God, call out:
    ‘You're my last chance, my only hope for life!'
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.
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!"
