Psalms 142

1 A Psalme of David, to give instruction, and a prayer, when he was in the cave. I cryed vnto the Lord with my voyce: with my voyce I prayed vnto the Lord.

大卫在洞里作的训诲诗，乃是祈祷。 我发声哀告耶和华， 发声恳求耶和华。

2 I powred out my meditation before him, and declared mine affliction in his presence.

我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陈说我的患难。

3 Though my spirit was in perplexitie in me, yet thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked, haue they priuily layde a snare for me.

我的灵在我里面发昏的时候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敌人为我暗设网罗。

4 I looked vpon my right hand, and beheld, but there was none that would knowe me: all refuge failed me, and none cared for my soule.

求你向我右边观看， 因为没有人认识我； 我无处避难， 也没有人眷顾我。

5 Then cryed I vnto thee, O Lord, and sayde, thou art mine hope, and my portion in the land of the liuing.

耶和华啊，我曾向你哀求。 我说：你是我的避难所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

6 Hearken vnto my crye, for I am brought very lowe: deliuer me from my persecuters, for they are too strong for me.

求你侧耳听我的呼求， 因我落到极卑之地； 求你救我脱离逼迫我的人， 因为他们比我强盛。

7 Bring my soule out of prison, that I may prayse thy Name: then shall the righteous come about me, when thou art beneficiall vnto me.

求你领我出离被囚之地， 我好称赞你的名。 义人必环绕我， 因为你是用厚恩待我。
