诗篇 142

1 大卫在洞里作的训诲诗，乃是祈祷。 我发声哀告耶和华， 发声恳求耶和华。

Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2 我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陈说我的患难。

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

3 我的灵在我里面发昏的时候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敌人为我暗设网罗。

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 求你向我右边观看， 因为没有人认识我； 我无处避难， 也没有人眷顾我。

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 耶和华啊，我曾向你哀求。 我说：你是我的避难所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living.

6 求你侧耳听我的呼求， 因我落到极卑之地； 求你救我脱离逼迫我的人， 因为他们比我强盛。

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 求你领我出离被囚之地， 我好称赞你的名。 义人必环绕我， 因为你是用厚恩待我。

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.
