Psalm 142
NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy.1With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD.
2I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.2I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
3When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps 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 for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to 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.
5Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.5I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are 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!
7Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to 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.
