Psalm 142:1-7 ICB

[1] I cry out to the Lord. I pray to the Lord for mercy. [2] I pour out my problems to him. I tell him my troubles. [3] When I am afraid, you, Lord, know the way out. In the path where I walk, a trap is hidden for me. [4] Look around me and see. No one cares about me. I have no place of safety. No one cares if I live. [5] Lord, I cry out to you. I say, "You are my protection. You are all I want in this life." [6] Listen to my cry because I am helpless. Save me from those who are chasing me. They are too strong for me. [7] Free me from my prison. Then I will praise your name. Then the good people will surround me because you have taken care of me.
