I (A)pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my (B)trouble before Him.
When (C)my spirit [a]was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have (D)hidden a trap for me.
Look to the right and see;
For there is (E)no one who regards me;
[b]There is no (F)escape for me;
(G)No one cares for my soul.

  1. Psalm 142:3 Lit fainted
  2. Psalm 142:4 Lit Escape has perished from me

I pour out before him my complaint;(A)
    before him I tell my trouble.(B)

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