Ps 142 1 I cry aloud to the Lord;I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.2 I pour out my complaint before him;before him I tell my trouble." God established the private garden for man.He was completely free of organized opposition. He was not subject to the operational limits of time and space. God carefully designed man for eternal purposes. But the eternal curse brought continuous opposition. Hence, when Christ return the legitimate authority in eternal pronouncements of law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises, gave man authority to overcome all opposition. We sufficiently demonstrate eternal ability dominating the creation by carefully describing our eternal struggle in legitimate complaints and pronouncing control over inward and outward opposition. When we struggle, tell God as if He does not know.

 142 3 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."Since we do not acquire the perspective of the magnificent garden, we are forced to struggle by the limits of corruption imputed to us. Instead of the Father dealing with us according to our sins, genuine pities our terrible struggle with organized opposition. The truth is if we had access to our native abilities we would always be faithful. ("you know my way")Since grace turned opposition upside down, the greater our sin and moral weakness, the more the Father is moved to graciously grant us extraordinary success.(grows faint)

 142 4 Look to my right and see;no one is concerned for me.I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
We live face to face with a transparent God. His right hand is the supreme exercise of authority. The Psalmist represent challenging God to generously provide the divine authority over his considerable troubles in properly exercising covenant faithfulness. "God you are faithful, kind and good because the extraordinary power of your right hand is unlimited! Observing my right is filled with trouble! You promised faithfully to quell all opposition!"

 142 5 I cry to you, O Lord;I say, "You are my refuge,my portion in the land of the living 6 Listen to my cry,for I am in desperate need;rescue me from those who pursue me,for they are too strong for me."I fondly remember in the boot camp an officer and gentlemen the army commander wanted Zachs dor. He challenged Zach "give up and go home." The confrontation was so intense Zach exclaimed "I ain't got any where to go!" The Psalmist is proclaiming His only hope in this life is Gods salvation. He has no where to turn. 

142 7 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."We are not significant in the kingdom of God until we are completely exposed so that God is moved to deliver us. When we recover ourselves, we will release others.
