142:1 How I plead with God, how I implore his mercy, pouring out my troubles before him.
142:2 How I plead with God, how I implore his mercy, pouring out my troubles before him.
142:3 For I am overwhelmed and desperate, and you alone know which way I ought to turn to miss the traps my enemies have set for me.
142:4 (There’s one—just over there to the right!) No one gives me a passing thought. No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.
142:5 Then I prayed to Jehovah. “Lord,” I pled, “you are my only place of refuge. Only you can keep me safe.
142:6 “Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
142:7 Bring me out of prison so that I can thank you. The godly will rejoice with me for all your help.”
