Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version
1
An 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 .
I cried unto the LORD with my voice ; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication .
2
I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare .
I poured out my complaint before him ; I shewed before him my trouble .
3
When 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.
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path . In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4
Looking on the right hand -- and seeing , And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me , There is none inquiring for my soul.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld , but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5
I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, ` Thou ` art ' my refuge , My portion in the land of the living. '
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6
Attend Thou unto my loud cry , For I have become very low , Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
Attend unto my cry ; for I am brought very low : deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7
Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name , The righteous do compass me about , When Thou conferrest benefits upon me !
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name : the righteous shall compass me about ; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me .
