Psalm 142:2

A Cry Of Distress

¹ A well-written song by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. To the Lord I cry out; to the Lord I plead for mercy. ² I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles. ³ Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
