Psalm 142

1 I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.

1 I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.

2 I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

3 When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.

4 Look on [my] right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

5 I cry to you, LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

5 I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

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

7 Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
