A Cry of Distress

A Maskil of David. When he was in the cave. # 142:title 1Sm 22:1; 24:3 A prayer.

1I cry aloud to the Lord; # 142:1 Ps 3:4; 77:1

I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy. # 142:1 Ps 30:8

2I pour out my complaint before him;

I reveal my trouble to him. # 142:2 Ps 77:2; 102 title

3Although my spirit is weak within me,

you know my way. # 142:3 Ps 77:3; 143:4

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;

no one cares about me. # 142:4 Ps 69:20; Jr 25:35

5I cry to you, Lord;

I say, “You are my shelter,

my portion in the land of the living.” # 142:5 Ps 16:5; 27:13

6Listen to my cry,

for I am very weak. # 142:6 Ps 79:8; 116:6

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

because you deal generously with me. # 142:7 Ps 13:6; 143:11
