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.

Pesem ukovita Davidova, ko je bil v jami, molitev. Z glasom svojim kličem Gospoda; z glasom svojim prosim pred Gospodom.

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

Pred njim iztresam premišljevanje svoje; stisko svojo oznanjam pred njim.

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.

Ko je omagoval moj duh v meni, takrat si ti spoznal stezo mojo, ko so mi skrivali zanko, kamorkoli sem popotoval.

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.

Ozri se na desno in poglej; ni ga, da bi me poznal; izginilo mi je zavetje, ni ga, da bi skrbel za življenje moje.

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

K tebi kličem, Gospod, govoreč: Ti si zavetje moje, delež moj v deželi živečih.

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

Poslušaj vpitje moje, ker ponižan sem silno; otmi me njih, ki me preganjajo, ker močnejši so od mene.

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.

Izpelji iz zapora življenje moje, da slavim ime tvoje; obdajali me bodo pravični, ko mi bodeš izkazal dobroto.
