תהילים קמ״בPsalms 142

A maskil of David, while he was in the cave. A prayer.

I cry aloud to GOD;
I appeal to GOD loudly for mercy.

I pour out my complaint directly;
I recount my tale of trouble

when my spirit fails within me.
You know my course;
they have laid a trap in the path I walk.

Look at my right and see—
I have no friend;
there is nowhere I can flee,
no one cares about me.

So I cry to You, O ETERNAL One;
I say, “You are my refuge,
all I have in the land of the living.”

Listen to my cry, for I have been brought very low;
save me from my pursuers,
for they are too strong for me.

Free me from prison,
that I may praise Your name.
The righteous shall glory in me
for Your gracious dealings with me.
