# Chapter 142
|
||
1 I cry out to the Lord;
|
||
I plead for the Lord’s mercy.
|
||
2 I pour out my complaints before him
|
||
and tell him all my troubles.
|
||
3 When I am overwhelmed,
|
||
you alone know the way I should turn.
|
||
Wherever I go,
|
||
my enemies have set traps for me.
|
||
4 I look for someone to come and help me,
|
||
but no one gives me a passing thought!
|
||
No one will help me;
|
||
no one cares a bit what happens to me.
|
||
5 Then I pray to you, O Lord.
|
||
I say, “You are my place of refuge.
|
||
You are all I really want in life.
|
||
6 Hear my cry,
|
||
for I am very low.
|
||
Rescue me from my persecutors,
|
||
for they are too strong for me.
|
||
7 Bring me out of prison
|
||
so I can thank you.
|
||
The godly will crowd around me,
|
||
for you are good to me.” |
