Psalms 142

RSV

NIV

1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to the LORD, with my voice I make supplication to the LORD,
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 tell my trouble before him.
2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
3 When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way! In the path where I walk they 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 I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me, no man 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 I cry to thee, O LORD; I say, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
5 I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Give heed to my cry; for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors; 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 Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name! The righteous will surround me; for thou wilt deal bountifully 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.
