Psalm 142
A Cry of Distress
I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.142:1 Ps 30:8
2I pour out my complaint before him;
3Although my spirit is weak within me,
Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.142:3 Ps 140:5
4Look to the right and see:142:4 DSS, LXX, Syr, Vg, Tg read I look to the right and I see
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
5I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my shelter,
6Listen to my cry,
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.142:6 Ps 18:17
7Free me from prison
so that I can praise your name.
The righteous will gather around me
