Psalms 142

1 Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock. The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

A poem of David when was he in the cave a prayer. Voice my to Yahweh I cry out voice my to Yahweh I seek favor.

2 I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

I pour out before him complaint my trouble my before him I tell.

3 When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

When faints away on me - spirit my and you you know pathway my in [the] path which I walk people have hidden a snare for me.

4 Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

Look right - and see and not [belongs] to me [one who] recognizes it has been lost a place of escape from me there not [is one who] cares for self my.

5 I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

I cry out to you O Yahweh I say you [are] refuge my portion my in [the] land of the living.

6 Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

Pay attention! - to cry of entreaty my for I have become low exceedingly deliver me from [those who] harass me for they are [too] strong for me.

7 Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.

Bring out! from prison - self my to give thanks to name your me they will surround righteous [people] for you deal bountifully towards me.
