Psalms 142

1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

1 I call to the Lord for help; I plead with him.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

2 I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

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.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

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.

5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

5 Lord, I cry to you for help; you, Lord, are my protector; you are all I want in this life.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

6 Listen to my cry for help, for I am sunk in despair. Save me from my enemies; they are too strong for me.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

7 Set me free from my distress; then in the assembly of your people I will praise you because of your goodness to me.
