Prayer for Help in Trouble.

# 142:0 Possibly Contemplative; or Didactic; or Skillful Psalm Maskil of David, when he was #142:0 1 Sam 22:1; 24:3in the cave. A Prayer.

1I cry out with my voice to the Lord;

With my voice I implore the Lord for compassion.

2I pour out my complaint before Him;

I declare my trouble before Him.

3When my spirit felt weak 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;

For there is no one who regards me favorably;

# 142:4 Lit Escape has perished from me There is no escape for me;

No one cares for my soul.

5¶I cried out to You, Lord;

I said, “You are my refuge,

My portion in the land of the living.

6“Give Your attention to my cry,

For I have been brought very low;

Rescue me from my persecutors,

For they are too strong for me.

7“Bring my soul out of prison,

So that I may give thanks to Your name;

The righteous will surround me,

For You will look after me.”
