Psalm 142
New International Version

Psalm 142[a]

A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave.(A) A prayer.

1 I cry aloud(B) to the Lord;
    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.(C)
2 I pour out before him my complaint;(D)
    before him I tell my trouble.(E)

3 When my spirit grows faint(F) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;(G)
    no one cares(H) for my life.

5 I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,(I)
    my portion(J) in the land of the living.”(K)

6 Listen to my cry,(L)
    for I am in desperate need;(M)
rescue me(N) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong(O) for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,(P)
    that I may praise your name.(Q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.(R)

New King James Version

A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

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

142 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

3 When my spirit [b]was (C)overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly (D)set a snare for me.
4 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.

5 I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6 [c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may (E)praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”

Salmenes 142
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930

142 En læresalme av David, da han var i hulen, en bønn.

2 Med min røst roper jeg til Herren, med min røst beder jeg inderlig til Herren.

3 Jeg utøser min sorg for hans åsyn, jeg gir min nød til kjenne for hans åsyn.

4 Når min ånd vansmekter i mig, kjenner dog du min sti; på den vei jeg skal vandre, har de lagt skjulte snarer for mig.

5 Sku til min høire side og se! Det er ikke nogen som kjennes ved mig; all tilflukt er borte for mig, det er ikke nogen som spør efter min sjel.

6 Jeg roper til dig, Herre! Jeg sier: Du er min tilflukt, min del i de levendes land.

7 Gi akt på mitt klagerop, for jeg er blitt såre elendig! Fri mig fra mine forfølgere, for de er mig for sterke!

8 Før min sjel ut av fengslet, så jeg kan love ditt navn! De rettferdige skal samle sig omkring mig, når du gjør vel imot mig.
