Psalms 142:4-5
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.
I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”

Psalms 142:4-5
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.
I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
I Lift My Voice to the LORD
1 I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy. 2 I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me. 3 When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me. 4 I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all. 5 I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life. 6 Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me. 7 Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.” — Psalm 142 | Free Bible Version (FBV) The Free Bible Version is a project of Free Bible Ministry; Copyright © 2018, Free Bible Ministry.

A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy. 2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me. 4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul. 5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” 6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me. - Psalm 142 | World English Bible (WEB) The World English Bible is in the public domain.

No One Cares For My Soul -- Roy Knight
Have you ever felt like you were in a cave? Have you ever felt as if you were all alone? Have you ever had the thought that no one really cared? In Psalm 142, these are the feelings with which David is wrestling. The introduction of the psalm reads, “A contemplation of David. A prayer when he was in the cave.” Sometimes God’s people are “cave people”. Elijah because of persecution was a “cave…

Psalm 142 (from the Book of Psalms for Worship)
To You, O Lord, I lift my voice; I supplication make. I pour my thoughts out to the Lord, To Him my trouble take.
For when my soul is overwhelmed, My every way You see. Upon the path on which I walk Their traps were laid for me.
None notices. Look to my right, No one regards me there. There's no escape for me to take, And none to show me care.
I cried to You, O Lord, and said, "You are my refuge true; And in the land of those who live, My portion is with You."
Since I'm brought low in misery, O listen to my cry; Save me from persecuting foes Who stronger are than I.
So, out of bondage, bring my soul That I Your name may praise; The righteous then will join with me, For You have shown me grace.

Psalm 142
Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.
1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before Him; I shewed before Him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto Thee, O LORD: I said, “Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy Name: the righteous shall compass me about; for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me.”
