Psalms 141 — parallel

141:1

[A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he was in the cave,—a Prayer.

A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

141:2

I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

^142:1 of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

141:3

I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.

^142:2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

141:4

When my spirit was fainting within me, then thou knewest my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.

^142:3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

141:5

I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.

^142:4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

141:6

I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

^142:5 I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

141:7

Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.

^142:6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

141:8

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until thou recompense me.

^142:7 Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
