Psalm 142

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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 poured out my complaint before Him; I laid before Him my trouble.

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 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 cried unto Thee, O LORD; I said, "Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

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

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."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Loudly, I cry to the LORD. Loudly, I plead with the LORD for mercy.

2 I pour out my complaints in his presence and tell him my troubles.

3 When I begin to lose hope, you [already] know what I am experiencing. [My enemies] have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.

4 Look to my right and see that no one notices me. Escape is impossible for me. No one cares about me.

5 I call out to you, O LORD. I say, "You are my refuge, my own inheritance in this world of the living."

6 Pay attention to my cry for help because I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me because they are too strong for me.

7 Release my soul from prison so that I may give thanks to your name. Righteous people will surround me because you are good to me.
