Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
1 I call to the Lord for help; I plead with him.
1
I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.
2
I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
3 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.
3
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
4 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.
4
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
5 Lord, I cry to you for help; you, Lord, are my protector; you are all I want in this life.
5
I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry for help, for I am sunk in despair. Save me from my enemies; 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.
