| New Living Translation | International Standard Version |
| 1I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy. | 1My voice cries out to the LORD; my voice pleads for mercy to the LORD. |
| 2I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. | 2I pour out my complaint to him, telling him all of my troubles. |
| 3When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me. | 3Though my spirit grows faint within me, you are aware of my path. Wherever I go, 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. | 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. |
| 5Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. | 5So I cry to you, Lord, declaring, "You are my refuge, my only possession while I am on this earth." |
| 6Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. | 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. |
| 7Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to 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. |
