Good News Bible

Psalms 142:1-7 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. I call to the Lord for help;I plead with him.

2. I bring him all my complaints;I tell him all my troubles.

3. When I am ready to give up,he knows what I should do.In the path where I walk,my enemies have hidden a trap for me.

4. When I look beside me,I see that there is no one to help me,no one to protect me.No one cares for me.

5. Lord, I cry to you for help;you, Lord, are my protector;you are all I want in this life.

6. Listen to my cry for help,for I am sunk in despair.Save me from my enemies;they are too strong for me.

7. Set me free from my distress;then in the assembly of your people I will praise youbecause of your goodness to me.
