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 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， 陳說我的患難。

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 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 cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, 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 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 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。
