Psalm 142

I cry out to you, LORD, set me free from prison that I may praise your name.

This psalm is a prayer for deliverance from personal enemies. The psalmist says his persecutors are too strong for him and that he is brought very low.

The psalmist may literally mean prison, or the word may be a metaphor. We who read this psalm are invited by it to seek deliverance from whatever is imprisoning our souls, so that we may praise the God who "frees" all those with faith.

Grace and peace...Bob
