詩篇 142

1 大衛在洞裏作的訓誨詩，乃是祈禱。 我發聲哀告耶和華， 發聲懇求耶和華。

A maskil of David, while he was in the cave, a prayer. Loudly I cry to the Lord: to the Lord plead loudly for mercy,

2 我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陳說我的患難。

I pour my complaint before him, I tell my troubles to him.

3 我的靈在我裏面發昏的時候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敵人為我暗設網羅。

When my spirit is faint within me, my path is known to you. In the way I am wont to walk in, they have hidden a trap for me.

4 求你向我右邊觀看， 因為沒有人認識我； 我無處避難， 也沒有人眷顧我。

I look to the right and the left; but not a friend have I. No place of refuge is left me, not a man to care for me.

5 耶和華啊，我曾向你哀求。 我說：你是我的避難所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

So I cry to you, O Lord: I say, ‘My refuge are you, all I have in the land of the living.’

6 求你側耳聽我的呼求， 因我落到極卑之地； 求你救我脫離逼迫我的人， 因為他們比我強盛。

Attend to my piercing cry, for very weak am I. Save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

7 求你領我出離被囚之地， 我好稱讚你的名。 義人必環繞我， 因為你是用厚恩待我。

Free me from prison, that I may give thanks to your name, for the righteous are patiently waiting till you show your bounty to me.
