< Psalms 142 >
1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.
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。
2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.
我在他面前吐露我的苦情, 陳說我的患難。
3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.
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。
4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.
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。
5 I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
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。
6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.
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。
7 Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
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。
