< Psalms 142 >
1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
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 poured out my complaint before him; I showed 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 was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid 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 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared 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 cried unto you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and 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 stronger than I.
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 praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall 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。
