Psalm 142
NET Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleHolman Christian Standard Bible
1A well-written song by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. To the LORD I cry out; to the LORD I plead for mercy. 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.
2I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles. 2I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
3Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. 3Although my spirit is weak within me, You know my way. Along this path I travel they have hidden a trap for me.
4Look to the right and see! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run; no one is concerned about my life. 4Look to the right and see: no one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about me.
5I cry out to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my shelter, my security in the land of the living." 5I cry to You, LORD; I say, "You are my shelter, my portion in the land of the living."
6Listen to my cry for help, for I am in serious trouble! Rescue me from those who chase me, for they are stronger than I am. 6Listen to my cry, for I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name. Because of me the godly will assemble, for you will vindicate me. 7Free me from prison so that I can praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because You deal generously with me.
