Psalms142
Psalm 142, a prayer of David when he was in the cave, records his fervent cry to the Lord in a time of overwhelming distress. Feeling utterly abandoned by others and facing hidden snares, David poured out his complaint and trouble before God. He declared the Lord to be his only refuge and portion, earnestly seeking deliverance from his persecutors so that he might praise God's name.

A Desperate Cry from the Cave
1
A Psalme of David, to give instruction, and a prayer, when he was in the cave. I cryed vnto the Lord with my voyce: with my voyce I prayed vnto the Lord.
2
I powred out my meditation before him, and declared mine affliction in his presence.
Overwhelmed by Troubles and Snares
3
Though my spirit was in perplexitie in me, yet thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked, haue they priuily layde a snare for me.
4
I looked vpon my right hand, and beheld, but there was none that would knowe me: all refuge failed me, and none cared for my soule.
The Lord Is My Only Refuge
5
Then cryed I vnto thee, O Lord, and sayde, thou art mine hope, and my portion in the land of the liuing.
6
Hearken vnto my crye, for I am brought very lowe: deliuer me from my persecuters, for they are too strong for me.
7
Bring my soule out of prison, that I may prayse thy Name: then shall the righteous come about me, when thou art beneficiall vnto me.
