Psalms 142
Psalm 142
Give Heed to My Cry
A ▼▼Possibly Contemplative, Didactic, Skillful PsalmMaskil of David. When he was ▼▼1 Sam 22:1; 24:3in the cave. A Prayer.
1With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud;With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication.
2I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my distress before Him.
3When my spirit ▼
▼Lit fainted
was faint within me,You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.
4Look to the right and see;
That there is no one who regards me;
A way of escape has been destroyed from me;
No one cares for my soul.
5I cried out to You, O Yahweh;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6“Give heed to my cry of lamentation,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too strong for me.
7“Bring my soul out of prison,
To give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will encircle me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”
