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.

大卫在洞里作的训诲诗，乃是祈祷。 我发声哀告耶和华， 发声恳求耶和华。

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

我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陈说我的患难。

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

我的灵在我里面发昏的时候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敌人为我暗设网罗。

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.

求你向我右边观看， 因为没有人认识我； 我无处避难， 也没有人眷顾我。

5 I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

耶和华啊，我曾向你哀求。 我说：你是我的避难所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

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

求你侧耳听我的呼求， 因我落到极卑之地； 求你救我脱离逼迫我的人， 因为他们比我强盛。

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

求你领我出离被囚之地， 我好称赞你的名。 义人必环绕我， 因为你是用厚恩待我。
