Psalms 142

1 I cry with my voice to Jehovah. With my voice to Jehovah I make supplication.

I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD did I make my supplication.

2 I pour out my complaint before him. I show my trouble before him.

I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have hidden a snare for me.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.

4 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me. No man cares for my soul.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5 I cried to thee, O Jehovah. I said, Thou are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

I cried to you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison that I may give thanks to thy name. The righteous shall encompass me around, for thou will deal bountifully with me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
