Psalm 142: A Prayer from the Cave
This episode presents Psalm 142, a Maschil of David, offered as a prayer from the cave where David cries aloud to the Lord, pours out his complaint, and lays his trouble before God when his spirit is overwhelmed. Surrounded by hidden snares and pursued by enemies stronger than he, David finds no help from men, confessing that refuge has failed and no one cares for his soul. Yet he turns to the Lord as his refuge and portion in the land of the living, pleading for God to attend to his cry and bring his soul out of prison. The psalm closes with hope that deliverance will lead to praise, and that the righteous will gather around him because the Lord will deal bountifully with him.
