Psalm 142:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Lord, I cry out to you.
    I say, “You are my protection.
    You are all I want in this life.”
⁶ Listen to my cry
    because I am helpless.
Save me from those who are chasing me.
    They are too strong for me.
⁷ Free me from my prison.
    Then I will praise your name.
Then the good people will surround me
    because you have taken care of me.
