Psalms 142
World English Bible (WEB)
1 Ref > I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2 Ref I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3 Ref When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me.
4 Ref Look on my right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5 Ref I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living."
6 Ref Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
7 Ref Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
2 Ref I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
3 Ref When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 Ref 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 Ref I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Ref Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7 Ref Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
