A Prayer when David was in a Cave: a Maschil, [a.k.a. Maskil.] |
Psalm 142:1-7 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I cried [out] to the Lord with My voice & I [made] My [requests] to the Lord with My voice. I poured out My complaint before Him & I [declared] My [troubles] before Him. When My spirit was overwhelmed within Me, then You knew My path. |
[Luke 22:40-44 And when He was at the place, He said to them, Pray [so] that you [don't] enter into temptation. And He was about a stone's [throw away] & kneeled down & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done. |
And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.] |
They have [secretly] laid a snare for Me in the [road] I walk in. I looked on My right hand [side] & [saw,] there was no man [who] would [acknowledge] Me. No man cared for My soul & refuge failed Me. |
[*Isaiah 53:2-5 For He shall grow up before Him, [like] a tender plant & [like] a root out of dry ground. He has no [pleasing] form, nor [attractiveness.] And when we shall see Him, there is no beauty, that we should desire Him. He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. |
And we hid, [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.] Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. |
Yet, we [didn't respect] Him, [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God. But He was wounded for our [sins] & bruised for our iniquities. The [discipline] for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, we are healed.] |
I cried [out] to You, O Lord. I said, You are My refuge & My portion in the land of the living. [Take care of] My [out] cry; for I am brought very low. Deliver me from My persecutors: for they are stronger than I. |
[*Mark 15:1-3 And [immediately] in the morning, the chief priests [consulted] with the elders, scribes & the whole counsel & bound Jesus & carried Him away & delivered Him to Pilate. And Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? And He said, You say it. *And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.] |
Bring My soul out of prison, [so] that I may praise Your Name. [Mark 15:17-20 And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it on His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & they spit upon Him & bowing their knees, worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.] |
The righteous shall [surround around] Me. For You shall deal bountifully with Me. [Revelation 3:20-22 [Watch,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice & [opens] the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. |
To him, [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne. He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.] |
