Psalm 142 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Give Heed to My Cry

Psa 142:1

A [fn]Maskil of David. When he was [fn]in the cave. A Prayer.

With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud;

With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication.

Psa 142:2

I pour out my complaint before Him;

I declare my distress before Him.

Psa 142:3

When my spirit [fn]was faint within me,

You knew my path.

In the way where I walk

They have hidden a trap for me.

Psa 142:4

Look to the right and see;

That there is no one who regards me;

A way of escape has been destroyed from me;

No one cares for my soul.

Psa 142:5

I cried out to You, O Yahweh;

I said, “You are my refuge,

My portion in the land of the living.

Psa 142:6

“Give heed to my cry of lamentation,

For I am brought very low;

Deliver me from my persecutors,

For they are too strong for me.

Psa 142:7

“Bring my soul out of prison,

To give thanks to Your name;

The righteous will encircle me,

For You will deal bountifully with me.”
