Psalm 142
NIV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD 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 before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.2I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
3When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare 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 and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for 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 to you, LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion 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 I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.6Listen to my cry, for I am very weak. Rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
7Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.7Free me from prison so that I can praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because You deal generously with me.
