Psalms 142

My Only Hope
King David’s poetic song of instruction
A prayer when he was confined in a cave
1God, I’m crying out to you!
I lift up my voice boldly to beg for your mercy.
2I spill out my heart to you and tell you all my troubles.
3For when I was desperate, overwhelmed, and about to give up,
you were the only one there to help.
You gave me a way of escape
from the hidden traps of my enemies.
4I look to my left and right to see if there is anyone who will help,
but there’s no one who takes notice of me.
I have no hope of escape, and no one cares whether I live or die.
5So I cried out to you, Lord, my only hiding place.
You’re all I have, my only hope in this life,
my last chance for help.
6Please listen to my heart’s cry,
for I am low and in desperate need of you!
Rescue me from all those who persecute me,
for I am no match for them.
7Bring me out of this dungeon so I can declare your praise!
And all the righteous will celebrate
all the wonderful things you’ve done for me!

142
1I cry out to יהוה with my voice; I pray to יהוה with my voice.
2I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my distress.
3When my spirit grew faint within me, Then You know my path. In the way in which I walk They have hidden a trap for me.
4Look to the right hand and see, And no one is concerned for me; No refuge remains to me; No one inquires after my being.
5I cried out to You, O יהוה: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
6“Listen to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me.
7“Bring my being out of prison, To give thanks to Your Name. Let the righteous gather around me, Because You deal kindly with me.”
