Psalm 142
Jubilee Bible 2000

Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.

1 ¶ I shall cry unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice shall I ask the LORD for mercy.

2 I shall pour out my complaint before him; before him I shall tell of my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou didst know my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me.

4 ¶ I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no one that would know me; I had no refuge; no one cared for my soul.

5 I cried unto thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name; the righteous shall feast with me; when thou shalt have weaned me.

    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.(C)
2 I pour out before him my complaint;(D)
    before him I tell my trouble.(E)

3 When my spirit grows faint(F) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;(G)

5 I cry to you, Lord;

    my portion(J) in the land of the living.”(K)

6 Listen to my cry,(L)
    for I am in desperate need;(M)
rescue me(N) from those who pursue me,

    that I may praise your name.(Q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.(R)
