Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 142:6

"Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low:Deliver me from my persecutors;For they are stronger than I.Bring my soul out of prison,That I may give thanks unto thy name:The righteous shall compass me about;And thou wilt deal bountifully with me.""Attend unto my cry" (Psalms 142:6).

Psalms 142:3-4. When my spirit, &c.— Now, when my spirit is overwhelmed within me, yet thou knowest my path. "Though the lowness of my spirits renders me incapable of providing for my own escape; yet thou art able to conduct me by the right path." Here he is supposed to make an effort for escaping.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 142:1-7

Psalms 142The superscription identifies the time when David wrote this psalm. He wrote it when he was "in the cave," evidently while Saul was pursuing him (cf. Psalms 57; 1 Samuel 22:1; 1 Samuel 24:3). The psalmist spoke as one who had no other hope of deliverance but Yahweh. This is another individual lament psalm. read more

2. David’s lament of his condition 142:3-4Even when David could not see his way clearly, God knew what course he should take to reach safety. It seemed to the psalmist that the path he took was one that his enemy had booby-trapped.
