Psalms 142

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

(FA)Maskil of David, when he was (FB)in the cave. A Prayer.

1 I (C1)cry out with my voice to the LORD;
With my voice I (C2)implore the LORD for compassion.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my (C2)trouble before Him.

3 When (C1)my spirit felt weak within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have (C2)hidden a trap for me.

4 Look to the right and see;
For there is (C1)no one who regards me favorably;
(F1)There is no (C2)escape for me;
(C3)No one cares for my soul.

5 I cried out to You, LORD;
I said, "You are (C1)my refuge,
My (C2)portion in the (C3)land of the living.

6 "(C1)Give Your attention to my cry,
For I have been (C2)brought very low;
Rescue me from my persecutors,
For they are too (C3)strong for me.

7 "(C1)Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will (C2)look after me."
