Psalm 142
ISV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1My voice cries out to the LORD; my voice pleads for mercy to the LORD.1With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD.
2I pour out my complaint to him, telling him all of my troubles.2I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
3Though my spirit grows faint within me, you are aware of my path. Wherever I go, they have hidden a trap for me.3When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4I look to my right and observe— no one is concerned about me. There is nowhere I can go for refuge, and no one cares for me.4Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul.
5So I cry to you, Lord, declaring, "You are my refuge, my only possession while I am on this earth." 5I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6Pay attention to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Deliver me from my tormentors, for they are far too strong for me.6Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!
7Break me out of this prison, so I can give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal generously with me.7Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
