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.

Con mi voz clamo a Yavé. Con mi voz suplico a Yavé.

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

Ante Él derramo mi queja. Declaro mi aflicción ante Él.

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.

Cuando mi espíritu desmayaba dentro de mí, Tú conociste mi sendero. En el camino por donde ando Ellos me escondieron una trampa.

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.

Miro a la derecha y observo Que no hay uno quien me atienda. No hay escape para mí. Nadie se preocupa por mi vida.

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

A Ti clamo, oh Yavé. Digo: Tú eres mi Refugio, Mi porción en la tierra de los que viven.

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

Presta oído a mi clamor, Porque estoy muy abatido. Líbrame de mis perseguidores, Porque son demasiado fuertes para mí.

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.

Saca mi vida de la prisión, Para que dé gracias a tu Nombre. Me rodearán los justos, Porque Tú me tratarás con abundancia.
