Psalm 142:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ I pray to you, Lord!
    You are my place of safety,
and you are my choice
    in the land of the living.
Please answer my prayer.
    I am completely helpless.

⁶ Help! They are chasing me,
    and they are too strong.
⁷ Rescue me from this prison,
    so I can praise your name.
And when your people notice
your wonderful kindness to me,
    they will rush to my side.
