Psalm 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."
