New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 142
1
I cry out to the LORD;<br>I plead for the LORD’s mercy.<br>
2
I pour out my complaints before him<br>and tell him all my troubles.<br>
3
When I am overwhelmed,<br>you alone know the way I should turn.<br>Wherever I go,<br>my enemies have set traps for me.<br>
4
I look for someone to come and help me,<br>but no one gives me a passing thought!<br>No one will help me;<br>no one cares a bit what happens to me.<br>
5
Then I pray to you, O LORD.<br>I say, “You are my place of refuge.<br>You are all I really want in life.<br>
6
Hear my cry,<br>for I am very low.<br>Rescue me from my persecutors,<br>for they are too strong for me.<br>
7
Bring me out of prison<br>so I can thank you.<br>The godly will crowd around me,<br>for you are good to me.”<br>
