Psalms 142:6-7

[6] Attend  unto my cry;  very  low:  deliver  me from my persecutors;  for they are stronger  [7] Bring  my soul  out of prison,  that I may praise  thy name:  the righteous  shall compass me about;  for thou shalt deal bountifully  with me.

What does Psalms 142:6-7 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Again the psalmist begged God to help him escape from his overpowering enemies. He felt imprisoned, with no escape possible if God failed to save him. If God did deliver him he would thank the Lord, and other godly people would join David in his praise because of God"s abundant goodness.
When God"s people feel forsaken by all other human allies, they may turn to the Lord-who is always with the righteous. God is able to deliver His own, even if there are no other helpers. [1]
"No matter the circumstances around us or the feelings within us, God cares for us ( 1 Peter 5:7)." [2]
