Context
Psalm 142
142:1 A well-written song by David , when he was in the cave ; a prayer . To the Lord I cry out ; to the Lord I plead for mercy .
142:2 I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles .
142:3 Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps . In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
142:4 Look to the right and see ! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run ; no one is concerned about my life .
142:5 I cry out to you, O Lord ; I say , “You are my shelter , my security in the land of the living .”
142:6 Listen to my cry for help, for I am in serious trouble ! Rescue me from those who chase me, for they are stronger than I am.
