Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
English Standard Version ESV
1 I cry aloud to the Lord; I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy.
1
With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
2
I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
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 faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap 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 the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul.
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.

Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, 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.

Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
