Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 142 -

I lift up my voice to the Lord

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 57:1-11)
1
AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A PRAYER WHEN HE IS IN THE CAVE. My voice [is] to YHWH, I cry, || My voice [is] to YHWH, I beg [for] grace.
2
I pour forth my meditation before Him, || I declare my distress before Him.
3
When my spirit has been feeble in me, || Then You have known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, || They have hid a snare for me.
4
Looking on the right hand—and seeing, || And I have none recognizing; Refuge has perished from me, || There is none inquiring for my soul.
5
I have cried to you, O YHWH, || I have said, “You [are] my refuge, || My portion in the land of the living.”
6
Attend to my loud cry, || For I have become very low, || Deliver me from my pursuers, || For they have been stronger than I.
7
Bring forth my soul from prison to confess Your Name, || The righteous surround me about, || When You confer benefits on me!

I lift up my voice to the Lord

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 57:1-11)
1
I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.
2
I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4
Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5
I cried to you, LORD. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
