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.

S svojim glasom sem klical h Gospodu, s svojim glasom sem storil svojo ponižno prošnjo h Gospodu.

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

Svojo pritožbo sem izlil pred njim, pred njim sem pokazal svojo stisko.

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.

Ko je bil moj duh znotraj mene nadvladan, tedaj ti poznaš mojo pot. Na stezi, po kateri sem hodil, so zame na skrivnem postavili zanko.

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.

Pogledal sem na svojo desnico in zagledal, toda ni bilo človeka, ki bi me poznal. Zatočišče se mi je izneverilo, noben človek ni skrbel za mojo dušo.

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

Klical sem k tebi, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moje zatočišče in moj delež v deželi živih.«

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

Prisluhni mojemu joku, kajti zelo sem ponižan. Osvobodi me pred mojimi preganjalci, kajti močnejši so od mene.

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.

Privedi mojo dušo iz ječe, da bom lahko hvalil tvoje ime. Pravični me bodo obdali, kajti radodarno boš postopal z menoj.
