Third Millennium Bible TMB
1 I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
1
<<A Psalm of David giving instruction. A prayer when he was in the cave.>> I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.
2
I poured out my complaint before Him; I laid 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, then Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid 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
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.
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 LORD; I said, "Thou art my refuge and 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 praise Thy name; the righteous shall compass me about, for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me."
