Psalms Chapter 142
I reached out to the Lord with my voice; like, I was totally asking for help, no cap.
[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. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm of David, giving instruction}
I let it all out to Him; laid bare my struggles, fr.
I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

I shouted out to You, Lord: You’re my safe haven and my all in this chaotic world.
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou {art} my refuge {and} my portion in the land of the living.
Listen to my plea; I'm feeling mad low: rescue me from my foes; they’re way stronger than I am.

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.
