Psalms 142 — Context

When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
