Psalms 142

1 [A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer. I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

S svojim glasom sem klical h Gospodu, s svojim glasom sem storil svojo ponižno prošnjo h Gospodu.

2 I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.

Svojo pritožbo sem izlil pred njim, pred njim sem pokazal svojo stisko.

3 When my spirit was fainting within me, then thou knewest my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.

Ko je bil moj duh znotraj mene nadvladan, tedaj ti poznaš mojo pot. Na stezi, po kateri sem hodil, so zame na skrivnem postavili zanko.

4 I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.

Pogledal sem na svojo desnico in zagledal, toda ni bilo človeka, ki bi me poznal. Zatočišče se mi je izneverilo, noben človek ni skrbel za mojo dušo.

5 I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

Klical sem k tebi, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moje zatočišče in moj delež v deželi živih.«

6 Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.

Prisluhni mojemu joku, kajti zelo sem ponižan. Osvobodi me pred mojimi preganjalci, kajti močnejši so od mene.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until thou recompense me.

Privedi mojo dušo iz ječe, da bom lahko hvalil tvoje ime. Pravični me bodo obdali, kajti radodarno boš postopal z menoj.
