Some days we feel on top of the world; some days we feel like there isn't much we can handle.
Psalms 142 is called a "prayer for help":
I call to the Lord for help;
I plead with him.
I bring him all my complaints;
I tell him all my troubles.
When I am ready to give up,
He knows what I should do.
In the path where I walk,
My enemies have hidden a trap for me.
When I look beside me,
I see that there is no one to help me.
No one to protect me.
No one cares for me.
Lord, I cry to you for help;
You, Lord, are my protector;
You are all I want in this life.
Listen to my cry for help,
For I am sunk in despair.
Save me from my enemies;
They are too strong fro me.
Set me free from my distress;
Then in the assembly of your people
I will praise you
Because of your goodness to me.
