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 clamaré a Jehová: con mi voz pediré misericordia a Jehová.

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

Delante de él derramaré mi querella: delante de él denunciaré mi angustia.

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.

Cuando mi espíritu se angustiaba dentro de mí, tu conociste mi senda: en el camino en que andaba, me escondieron lazo.

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.

Consideraba hacia mi mano derecha y miraba, y no había quien me conociese: no tuve refugio, no había quien volviese por mi vida.

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

Clamé a ti, o! Jehová; dije: Tú eres mi esperanza, y mi porción en la tierra de los vivientes.

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

Escucha mi clamor, que estoy afligido mucho: escápame de los que me persiguen; porque son más fuertes que yo.

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.

Saca mi alma de la cárcel, para que alabe tu nombre: conmigo se coronarán los justos, cuando me hubieres hecho bien.
