Psalm 142

1 min read · Chapter 289 of 362

“An instruction of David when he was in the cave: a prayer. [With] my voice to Jehovah I cry; [with] my voice to Jehovah I make supplication. I pour out in his presence my plaint; my distress in his presence I show. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path. In the way that I go they hid a trap for me. Look on the right hand and see: there is none that knoweth me. Refuge hath failed me: there is none caring for my soul, I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou [art] my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison that I may give thanks to thy name. The righteous shall compass me round, for thou dealest bountifully with me” (vers. 1-8).
The following is deeper still: not only none else but Jehovah, but self abandoned. No righteousness can stand judgment, but his is the righteousness of God by faith. Confidence is in grace. So the godly Jew will feel and say in that day.
