Psalm 142:4-6
New English Translation
4 Look to the right and see.
No one cares about me.[a]
I have nowhere to run;[b]
no one is concerned about my life.[c]
5 I cry out to you, O Lord;
I say, “You are my shelter,
my security[d] in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry for help,
for I am in serious trouble.[e]
Rescue me from those who chase me,
for they are stronger than I am.
