Psalm 142:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ When I grow weak,
    you are watching over my life.
In the path where I walk,
    people have hidden a trap to catch me.
⁴ Look and see that no one is on my right side to help me.
    No one is concerned about me.
I have no place of safety.
    No one cares whether I live or die.

⁵ Lord, I cry out to you.
    I say, “You are my place of safety.
    You are everything I need in this life.”
