# Chapter 142
|
|
1 I cry aloud to the Lord;
|
|
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.
|
|
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
|
|
I reveal my trouble to him.
|
|
3 Although my spirit is weak within me,
|
|
you know my way.
|
|
Along this path I travel
|
|
they have hidden a trap for me.
|
|
4 Look to the right and see:
|
|
no one stands up for me;
|
|
there is no refuge for me;
|
|
no one cares about me.
|
|
5 I cry to you, Lord;
|
|
I say, “You are my shelter,
|
|
my portion in the land of the living.”
|
|
6 Listen to my cry,
|
|
for I am very weak.
|
|
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
|
|
for they are too strong for me.
|
|
7 Free me from prison
|
|
so that I can praise your name.
|
|
The righteous will gather around me
|
|
because you deal generously with me. |
