Psalms 142 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

A Cry of DistressA Maskil of David. When he was in the cave.  A prayer.

1I cry aloud to the  Lord; 

I plead aloud to the  Lord for mercy. 

2I pour out my complaint before him;

I reveal my trouble to him. 

3Although my spirit is weak within me,

you know my way. 

Along this path I travel

they have hidden a trap for me. 

4Look to the right and see: 

no one stands up for me;

there is no refuge for me;

no one cares about me. 

5I cry to you, Lord;

I say, ‘You are my shelter,

my portion in the land of the living.’ 

6Listen to my cry,

for I am very weak. 

Rescue me from those who pursue me,

for they are too strong for me. 

7Free me from prison

so that I can praise your name.

The righteous will gather around me

because you deal generously with me.
