Psalm 142:5-7

New Century Version

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,
    because they are too strong for me.
⁷ Free me from my prison,
    and then I will praise your name.
Then good people will surround me,
    because you have taken care of me.
