Psalms 142 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, KJV, DRA)

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

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

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

1A psalm of David, when his son Absalom pursued him. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.

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

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

2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

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 was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:

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

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.

4And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.

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

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

5I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.

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

6I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.

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

7Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
