New Living Translation

New King James Version

Psalms 142

A psalma of David, regarding his experience in the cave. A prayer.

I cry out to the LORD;
I plead for the LORD’s mercy.

A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

A Contemplation[a] of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.

I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.

I pour out my complaints before him
and tell him all my troubles.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

When I am overwhelmed,
you alone know the way I should turn.
Wherever I go,
my enemies have set traps for me.

When my spirit [b]was overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly set a snare for me.

I 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.

Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

Then I pray to you, O LORD.
I say, “You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life.

I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

Hear my cry,
for I am very low.
Rescue me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.

[c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.

Bring me out of prison
so I can thank you.
The godly will crowd around me,
for you are good to me.”

Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
