Psalm 142
HCSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1A Davidic Maskil. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I plead aloud to the LORD for mercy. 1I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy.
2I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him. 2I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.
3Although my spirit is weak within me, You know my way. Along this path I travel they have hidden a trap for me. 3When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.
4Look to the right and see: no one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about 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.
5I cry to You, LORD; I say, "You are my shelter, my portion in the land of the living." 5Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.
6Listen to my cry, for I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. 6Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7Free me from prison so that I can praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because You deal generously with me. 7Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”
