Psalm 142:1-3

The Voice

Psalm 142

A contemplative prayer^[a] of David while he hid in a cave.

¹I call out loudly to the Eternal One;
    I lift my voice to the Eternal begging for His favor.
²I let everything that’s going wrong spill out of my mouth;
    I spell out all my troubles to Him.
³When my spirit buckled under the burdens I bear,
    You knew my way.
They conspired to trip me up and trap me
    on the path where I was walking.
