Psalm 142.
A Psalm of David regarding his experience in the cave.
A prayer I cry out to the Lord.
I plead for the Lord's mercy.
I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.
When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn wherever I go.
My enemies have set traps for me.
I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought.
No one will help me.
No one cares a bit.
What happens to me then?
I pray to you, oh Lord, I say, You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life.
Hear my cry for I am very low.
Rescue me from my prosecutors for they are too strong for me.
Bring me out of prison so I can.
Thank you.
The godly will crowd around me for you are good to me.

Oh Lord, listen to my plea.
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
Don't put your servant on trial for no one is innocent before you.

He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness.
Like those in the grave.

I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done.
I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain interlude.
Come quickly, Lord, and answer me for my depression deepens.
Don't turn away from me or I will die.
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk, where I give myself to.
You.
Rescue me from my enemies.
Lord, I run to you to hide me, teach me to do your will for you are my God.
May your gracious spirit lead me forward on affirmed footing

my shield and I take refuge in him.
He makes the nations submit to me, oh Lord, what are human
beings that you should notice?
Them mere mortals that you should think about them for?
They are like a breath of air.
Their days are like a passing shadow.
Open the heavens Lord, and come down touch the mountains so they billow smoke.
Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies.
Shoot your arrows and confuse them.
Reach down from heaven and rescue me.
