Psalm Ps. 142. This individual lament is a companion to Psalm 57. It is also similar to Psalms 140–141, with the faithful person praying for protection from persecutors.
Ps. 142:1–2 The words here express earnest prayer in the face of danger: cry out, plead for mercy, pour out my complaint, and tell my trouble. Each of these acts is directed toward the Lord.
Ps. 142:3–4 These verses express what people often feel when being threatened: out of energy, beset by dangers, confused, and painfully alone.
Ps. 142:5–7 The final section ties the whole psalm together. Cry to you echoes v. 1, while you are my refuge echoes v. 4; and I am brought very low summarizes vv. 3–4. This section enables the faithful to pray with boldness and with confidence in the Lord’s unflagging care.
