The LORD knows my path when I am overwhelmed

Psalm 142 ---written by David when he was afraid as he hid in the cave

I cry aloud with my voice to the Lord;
I make supplication with my voice to the Lord.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my trouble before Him.


When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.


In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.
Look to the right and see;
For there is no one who regards me;
There is no escape for me;
No one cares for my soul.


I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

“Give heed to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too strong for me.


“Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”
