Psalms 142
1With my voice I cry out for help to Yahweh; 1 with my voice I plead for Yahweh's favor. 1
2I pour out my lament before him; 1 I tell him my troubles. 1
3When my spirit is weak within me, 1 you know my path. 1 In the way that I walk 1 they have hidden a trap for me. 1
4I look to my right and and see 1 that there is no one who cares about me. 1 There is no escape for me; 1 no one cares about my life. 1
5I called out to you, Yahweh; 1 I said, “You are my refuge, 1 my portion in the land of the living. 1
6Listen to my call, 1 for I have been brought very low; 1 rescue me from my persecutors, 1 for they are stronger than I. 1
7Bring my soul out of prison 1 so that I may give thanks to your name. 1 The righteous will gather around me 1 because you have been good to me.”
