Psalm 142 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 142:1An 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.
Psa 142:2I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.
Psa 142:3When 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.
Psa 142:4Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.
Psa 142:5I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'
Psa 142:6Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
Psa 142:7Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
