詩篇 142

1 我高聲向上主呼求， 我高聲向天主求助。

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.

2 我向他傾吐我的愁苦，我向他陳訴我的憂慮。

I pour forth before Him my (meditation) My distress before Him I declare.

3 當我精神愁苦的時候，惟有您知悉我的路途。在我行走的道路途中；他們給我設下陷阱。

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.

4 我向右觀察細看，沒有一個熟悉我的人！沒有一人我可投奔，沒有一人為我操心。

Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

5 上主，我今呼號說：你是我的避難所，在這活人的地方，你就是我的福爵。

I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

6 求您傾聽我的哀號，因我十分可憐無靠，求您救我脫離迫害我的人，因他們是比我強悍的人。

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.

7 求您引領我出離監牢，好讓我讚美您的名號。義人前呼後擁歡迎我，因為您大量恩待了我。

Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
