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.

Utenzi wa Daudi. Alipokuwa pangoni. Maombi. Namlilia Bwana kwa sauti, nainua sauti yangu kwa Bwana anihurumie.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

Namimina malalamiko yangu mbele zake, mbele zake naeleza shida zangu.

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

Wakati roho yangu inapozimia ndani yangu, wewe ndiwe unajua njia zangu. Katika njia ninayopita watu wameniwekea mtego.

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.

Tazama kuume kwangu na uone, hakuna hata mmoja anayejihusisha nami. Sina kimbilio, hakuna anayejali maisha yangu.

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

Ee Bwana, nakulilia wewe, nasema, “Wewe ni kimbilio langu, fungu langu katika nchi ya walio hai.”

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

Sikiliza kilio changu, kwa sababu mimi ni mhitaji sana; niokoe na wale wanaonifuatilia, kwa kuwa wamenizidi nguvu.

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.

Nifungue kutoka kifungo changu, ili niweze kulisifu jina lako. Ndipo wenye haki watanizunguka, kwa sababu ya wema wako kwangu.
