Psalms142:1
1. A vivid memory —of what he did, and how, and when.
2. A public declaration; from which we infer that his prayer cheered him, brought him succour in trouble, and deliverance out of it.
3. A reasonable inference: he prays again.
Verses 1-2.
1. Special seasons for prayer: times of complaint and trouble.
2. Special prayer on such occasions; "I cried", "I make my supplication", "I poured out my complaint", "I showed before him my trouble." Spread the whole case before God, as Hezekiah did the letter from Sennacherib. —G.R.
