Read Psalms chapter 142 (Contemporary English Version) on maBible, the Bible online. In this chapter: (A special psalm and a prayer by David when he was in the cave.), A Prayer for Help.
1 I pray to you, Lord. I beg for mercy.
2 I tell you all my worries and my troubles,
3 and whenever I feel low, you are there to guide me. A trap has been hidden along my pathway.
4 Even if you look, you won't see anyone who cares enough to walk beside me. There is no place to hide, and no one who really cares.
5 I pray to you, Lord! You are my place of safety, and you are my choice in the land of the living. Please answer my prayer. I am completely helpless.
6 Help! They are chasing me, and they are too strong.
7 Rescue me from this prison, so I can praise your name. And when your people notice your wonderful kindness to me, they will rush to my side.
