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.

Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad bijaše u spilji. Molitva. Iz svega glasa vapijem Jahvi, iz svega glasa Jahvu zaklinjem.

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

Pred njim svoju izlijevam tužaljku, tjeskobu svoju pred njim razastirem.

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.

Ako duh moj i klone u meni, ti put moj poznaješ. Na putu kojim prolazim potajnu mi zamku staviše.

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.

Obazrem li se nadesno i pogledam: nitko ne zna za mene. Nemam kamo pobjeći, nitko za život moj ne mari.

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

K tebi, Jahve, vapijem; govorim: ti si mi utočište, ti si dio moj u zemlji živih.

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

Poslušaj moje vapaje jer sam veoma nevoljan. Izbavi me od gonitelja mojih jer od mene oni su moćniji.

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.

Izvedi iz tamnice dušu moju da zahvaljujem imenu tvojemu. Oko mene će se okupiti pravednici zbog dobra što si ga iskazao meni.
