Psalms 142:5

Protection and safetyFaithPrayerIdentity and self-worth

3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

7 Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
