< Psalms 142 >
1 A poem of David when was he in the cave a prayer. Voice my to Yahweh I cry out voice my to Yahweh I seek favor.
2 I pour out before him complaint my trouble my before him I tell.
3 When faints away on me - spirit my and you you know pathway my in [the] path which I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look right - and see and not [belongs] to me [one who] recognizes it has been lost a place of escape from me there not [is one who] cares for self my.
5 I cry out to you O Yahweh I say you [are] refuge my portion my in [the] land of the living.
6 Pay attention! - to cry of entreaty my for I have become low exceedingly deliver me from [those who] harass me for they are [too] strong for me.
7 Bring out! from prison - self my to give thanks to name your me they will surround righteous [people] for you deal bountifully towards me.
