| Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 I cry aloud to the Lord; I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy. | 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; I reveal my trouble to Him. | 2 I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble. |
| 3 Although my spirit is weak within me, You know my way. Along this path I travel they have hidden a trap for me. | 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. |
| 4 Look to the right and see: no one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about me. | 4 Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. |
| 5 I cry to You, Lord; I say, "You are my shelter, my portion in the land of the living." | 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 very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. | 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. |
| 7 Free me from prison so that I can praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because You deal generously with me. | 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. |
