Chapter 142
1 I cry with my voice to the LORD . With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him . I tell him my troubles.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me , you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me .
4 Look on my right , and see ; for there is no one who is concerned for me . Refuge has fled from me . No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried to you , LORD . I said, " You are my refuge , my portion in the land of the living ."
6 Listen to my cry , for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me .
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me , for you will be good to me .
