Psalm 142 is the 142nd psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "I cried unto the LORD with my voice." In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and the Latin Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 141. In Latin, it is known as "Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi".[1] It is attributed to David in the opening verses.[2] It is labelled as a maschil or contemplation.[3] The text is presented as a prayer uttered by David at the time he was hiding in the Cave of Adullam (part of the David and Jonathan narrative in the Books of Samuel). Albert Barnes notes that "a prayer when he was in the cave" could mean it was a prayer which he composed while in the cave, or one which he composed at a later date, "putting into a poetic form the substance of the prayer which he breathed forth there."[4] It is, consequently, used as a prayer in times of distress.
The psalm is used as a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies; it has been set to music.
Uses
Catholic Church

According to the Rule of St. Benedict (530), this psalm traditionally appeared on Friday night.[5][6] In the current Liturgy of the Hours, this psalm is recited on Saturday Vespers in the first week of the cycle of four weeks. This psalm is known to have been recited by Saint Francis of Assisi on his deathbed.

Verse 2
- I pour out my complaint before Him;
- I declare before Him my trouble.[13]
Barnes points out that the psalmist is not so much "complaining" as meditating, or praying for release.[4]
