Psalms 142 — Context

I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.

I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.

O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.

Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.

O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.

Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.

For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
