Psalms 142

MSG

ESV

1 I cry out loudly to God, loudly I plead with God for mercy.
1 With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD.
2 I spill out all my complaints before him, and spell out my troubles in detail:
2 I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
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.
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 right, look left - there's not a soul who cares what happens! I'm up against it, with no exit - bereft, left alone.
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 out, God, call out: 'You're my last chance, my only hope for life!'
5 I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
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.
6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!
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!"
7 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.
