< Psalms 142 >
1 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto 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 pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;
我在他面前吐露我的苦情, 陈说我的患难。
3 When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden 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 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.
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 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'
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 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; 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 soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with 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。
