GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 Loudly, I cry to the LORD. Loudly, I plead with the LORD for mercy.
1
A Contemplation of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
2 I pour out my complaints in his presence and tell him my troubles.
2
I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.
3 When I begin to lose hope, you [already] know what I am experiencing. [My enemies] have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me.
4 Look to my right and see that no one notices me. Escape is impossible for me. No one cares about me.
4
Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.
5 I call out to you, O LORD. I say, "You are my refuge, my own inheritance in this world of the living."
5
I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
6 Pay attention to my cry for help because I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me because they are too strong for me.
6
Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I.
7 Release my soul from prison so that I may give thanks to your name. Righteous people will surround me because you are good to me.
7
Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me."
