Psalms 142

1I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

1 The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

1I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

1An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice <FI>is<Fi> unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice <FI>is<Fi> unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.

2I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

2I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

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

2I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.

3When 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.

3When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

3When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way <FI>in<Fi> which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

4I 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.

4Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

4Look onmy right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

4Looking on the right hand--and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

5I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

5I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

5I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

5I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou <FI>art<Fi> my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

6Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

6Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

6Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

7Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.

7Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

7Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
