Psalms 142

1 Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

A poem of David when was he in the cave a prayer. Voice my to Yahweh I cry out voice my to Yahweh I seek favor.

2 In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

I pour out before him complaint my trouble my before him I tell.

3 When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.

When faints away on me - spirit my and you you know pathway my in [the] path which I walk people have hidden a snare for me.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.

Look right - and see and not [belongs] to me [one who] recognizes it has been lost a place of escape from me there not [is one who] cares for self my.

5 I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

I cry out to you O Yahweh I say you [are] refuge my portion my in [the] land of the living.

6 Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Pay attention! - to cry of entreaty my for I have become low exceedingly deliver me from [those who] harass me for they are [too] strong for me.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

Bring out! from prison - self my to give thanks to name your me they will surround righteous [people] for you deal bountifully towards me.
