Psalms 142
Psalm
1 To Yahweh, my cry! I plead. To Yahweh, my cry! I entreat.
2 I pour out my supplications, I unfold all my troubles;
3 my spirit fails me, but you, you know my path. On the path I follow they have concealed a trap.
4 Look on my right[*a] and see, there is no one to befriend me. All help is denied me, no one cares about me.
5 I invoke you, Yahweh, I affirm that you are my refuge, my heritage in the land of the living.
6 Listen to my cries for help, I can hardly be crushed lower. Rescue me from persecutors stronger than I am!
7 Free me from this imprisonment, and I will thank your name once more in the Assembly of the virtuous, for the goodness you show me.
