Psalm 142
NLT Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationInternational Standard Version
1I cry out to the LORD; I plead for the LORD’s mercy.1My voice cries out to the LORD; my voice pleads for mercy to the LORD.
2I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.2I pour out my complaint to him, telling him all of my troubles.
3When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.3Though my spirit grows faint within me, you are aware of my path. Wherever I go, they have hidden a trap for 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.4I look to my right and observe— no one is concerned about me. There is nowhere I can go for refuge, and no one cares for me.
5Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.5So I cry to you, Lord, declaring, "You are my refuge, my only possession while I am on this earth."
6Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.6Pay attention to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Deliver me from my tormentors, for they are far too strong for me.
7Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”7Break me out of this prison, so I can give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal generously with me.
