Youngs Literal Translation


142:1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice `is' unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice `is' unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.
142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.
142:3 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. When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way `in' which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
142:4 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. Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.
142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou `art' my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'
142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
142:7 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. Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
