142:1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to the LORD, with my voice I make supplication to the LORD, 142:2 I pour out my complaint before him, I tell my trouble before him. 142:3 When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. 142:4 I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me;no refuge remains to me, no man cares for me. 142:5 I cry to thee, O LORD;I say, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. 142:6 Give heed to my cry;for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors;for they are too strong for me! 142:7 Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name! The righteous will surround me;for thou wilt deal bountifully with me. 142:8
