Psalms 142

1 The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave. With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.

Com a minha voz clamei ao Senhor, com a minha voz suppliquei ao Senhor.

2 In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.

Derramei a minha queixa perante a sua face; expuz-lhe a minha angustia.

3 Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.

Quando o meu espirito estava angustiado em mim, então conheceste a minha vereda: no caminho em que eu andava, esconderam-me um laço.

4 I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.

Olhei para a minha direita, e vi; mas não havia quem me conhecesse: refugio me faltou, ninguem cuidou da minha alma.

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

A ti, ó Senhor, clamei; disse: Tu és o meu refugio, e a minha porção na terra dos viventes.

6 Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.

Attende ao meu clamor; porque estou muito abatido: livra-me dos meus perseguidores; porque são mais fortes do que eu.

7 Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.

Tira a minha alma da prisão, para que louve o teu nome; os justos me rodearão, pois me fizeste bem.
