Psalms

I Call to the Lord for Help.  Psalm 142(v141)

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

1I cry with my voice to Yahweh,
with my voice I make supplication to Yahweh,
2I pour out my complaint before him,
I tell my trouble before him.
3When my spirit is faint, you know my way!

In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me;
no refuge remains to me, no man cares for me.
5I cry to you, O Yahweh;
I say, You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.
6Give heed to my cry;
for I am brought very low!

Deliver me from my persecutors;
for they are too strong for me!
7Bring me out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me;
for you will deal bountifully with me.

This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
