Psalm 142: A Prayer from the Cave

This episode presents Psalm 142, a Maschil of David, offered as a prayer from the cave where David cries aloud to the Lord, pours out his complaint, and lays his trouble before God when his spirit is overwhelmed. Surrounded by hidden snares and pursued by enemies stronger than he, David finds no help from men, confessing that refuge has failed and no one cares for his soul. Yet he turns to the Lord as his refuge and portion in the land of the living, pleading for God to attend to his cry and bring his soul out of prison. The psalm closes with hope that deliverance will lead to praise, and that the righteous will gather around him because the Lord will deal bountifully with him.

Psalm 142 - Maschil of David; A
Prayer when he was in the cave

I cried unto the Lord with my
voice; with my voice unto the

Lord did I make my supplication.

I poured out my complaint before
him; I shewed before him my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed
within me, then thou knewest my path.

In the way wherein I walked have
they privily laid a snare for me.

I looked on my right hand, and
beheld, but there was no man

that would know me: refuge failed
me; no man cared for my soul.

I cried unto thee, O Lord: I
said, Thou art my refuge and my

portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought
very low: me from my persecutors;

for they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I
may praise thy name: the righteous

shall compass me about; for thou
shalt deal bountifully with me.
