Psalm 142

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<A maskil by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.>> I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.

2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me.

4 Look on my right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

5 I cried to you, the LORD. I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living."

6 Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.

The Message Bible MSG

1 I cry out loudly to God, loudly I plead with God for mercy.

2 I spill out all my complaints before him, and spell out my troubles in detail:

3 "As I sink in despair, my spirit ebbing away, you know how I'm feeling, Know the danger I'm in, the traps hidden in my path.

4 Look right, look left - there's not a soul who cares what happens! I'm up against it, with no exit - bereft, left alone.

5 I cry out, God, call out: 'You're my last chance, my only hope for life!'

6 Oh listen, please listen; I've never been this low. Rescue me from those who are hunting me down; I'm no match for them.

7 Get me out of this dungeon so I can thank you in public. Your people will form a circle around me and you'll bring me showers of blessing!"
