Psalm 142:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ Lord, I cry out to you for help:
    “You are my place of safety.
    You are all I need in life.”
⁶ Listen to my prayer.
    I am so weak.
Save me from those who are chasing me.
    They are stronger than I am.
⁷ Help me escape this trap,^[a]
    so that I can praise your name.
Then good people will celebrate with me,
    because you took care of me.
