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.

大衛在洞裏作的訓誨詩，乃是祈禱。 我發聲哀告耶和華， 發聲懇求耶和華。

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， 陳說我的患難。

3 When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

我的靈在我裏面發昏的時候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敵人為我暗設網羅。

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.

求你向我右邊觀看， 因為沒有人認識我； 我無處避難， 也沒有人眷顧我。

5 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

耶和華啊，我曾向你哀求。 我說：你是我的避難所； 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.

求你側耳聽我的呼求， 因我落到極卑之地； 求你救我脫離逼迫我的人， 因為他們比我強盛。

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.

求你領我出離被囚之地， 我好稱讚你的名。 義人必環繞我， 因為你是用厚恩待我。
