Psalm 142 (WEBP)
[1] I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
[2] I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
[3] When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
[4] Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
[5] I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
[6] Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
[7] Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Psalm 142 (KJVS)
[1] I cried H2199 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 with my voice; H6963 With my voice H6963 unto the Lord H3068 did I make my supplication. H2603 (HithImpf)
[2] I poured out H8210 (QalImpf) my complaint H7879 before H6440 him; I shewed H5046 (HiphImpf) before H6440 him my trouble. H6869
[3] When my spirit H7307 was overwhelmed H5848 (HithInf) within me, then thou knewest H3045 (QalPerf) my path. H5410 In the way H734 wherein H2098 I walked H1980 (PielImpf) have they privily laid H2934 (QalPerf) a snare H6341 for me.
[4] I looked H5027 (HiphImpv) on my right hand, H3225 And beheld,§ H7200 (QalImpv) but there was no man that would know H5234 (HiphPtc) me: Refuge H4498 failed H6 (QalPerf) me;§ No man cared H1875 (QalActPtc) for my soul.§ H5315
[5] I cried H2199 (QalPerf) unto thee, O Lord: H3068 I said, H559 (QalPerf) Thou art my refuge H4268 and my portion H2506 in the land H776 of the living. H2416
[6] Attend H7181 (HiphImpv) unto my cry; H7440 For I am brought H1809 very H3966 low: H1809 (QalPerf) Deliver H5337 (HiphImpv) me from my persecutors; H7291 (QalActPtc) For they are stronger H553 (QalPerf) than I.
[7] Bring H3318 (HiphImpv) my soul H5315 out of prison, H4525 That I may praise H3034 (HiphInf) thy name: H8034 The righteous H6662 shall compass me about; H3803 (HiphImpf) For thou shalt deal bountifully H1580 (QalImpf) with me.
