Psalms 142:1

Psalm 142

A well-written song by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer.

142:1 To the Lord I cry out;

to the Lord I plead for mercy.

Psalms 9:3

9:3 When my enemies turn back,

they trip and are defeated before you.

9:14 Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;

in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

31:8 You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy;

you enable me to stand in a wide open place.

88:4 They treat me like those who descend into the grave.

I am like a helpless man,

88:5 adrift among the dead,

like corpses lying in the grave,

whom you remember no more,

and who are cut off from your power.

88:6 You place me in the lowest regions of the pit,

in the dark places, in the watery depths.

88:7 Your anger bears down on me,

and you overwhelm me with all your waves. (Selah)

88:8 You cause those who know me to keep their distance;

you make me an appalling sight to them.

I am trapped and cannot get free.

143:11 O Lord, for the sake of your reputation, revive me!

Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!

146:7 vindicates the oppressed,

and gives food to the hungry.

The Lord releases the imprisoned.

The Lord Will Rejuvenate His People

61:1 The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me,

because the Lord has chosen me.

He has commissioned me to encourage the poor,

to help the brokenhearted,

to decree the release of captives,

and the freeing of prisoners,

2:24 But God raised him up, having released him from the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.
