Old Testament

New Testament

Psalms 142:1-7 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. I cried unto the Lord with my voice;with my voice I made my supplication unto the Lord.

2. I poured out my complaint before Him;I declared to Him my trouble.

3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,then You knew my path.In the way where I walk,they have laid a snare for me.

4. I looked on my right and noticed,but there was no one who would care for me;there is no refuge for me;no one cares for my soul.

5. I cried unto You, O Lord;I said, “You are my refugeand my portion in the land of the living.”

6. Attend to my cry,for I am brought very low;deliver me from my persecutors,for they are stronger than me.

7. Bring my soul out of prison,that I may praise Your name;the righteous shall surround me,for You shall deal bountifully with me.
