Honesty, Honour and Hope


Let’s take a look at Psalm 142 and see how David faced his situation when he was in trouble and hiding in a cave!

I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy. 
I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me. Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.



There’s three things I want to briefly emphasise from this psalm.
