[1] Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock. [2]
\142:1\The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my
prayer for grace to the Lord. [3] \142:2\I put all my sorrows before him;
and made clear to him all my trouble. [4] \142:3\When my spirit is
overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the
way in which I go. [5] \142:4\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. [6]
\142:5\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. [7] \142:6\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. [8] \142:7\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.
