Psalms 142

1 [A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he was in the cave, —a Prayer. I cried to the Lord with my voice; with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

I LIKWIRKI nil laud on Ieowa, Ki nil ai i kin nidinideki on Ieowa.

2 I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him mine affliction.

I kin kajanjale on i ai apwal akan, o i padaki on i katoutou pa i kan.

3 When my spirit was fainting within me, then you knew my paths; in the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.

Nen i lao luetala, kom ap pan kotin apapwali. Irail rir wiai on ia injar eu liman al, me i kin weid ia.

4 I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.

I kilan ni pali maun i, ari jota, me men jauaja ia; i jota kak pitila, pwe jota me kill idok ia.

5 I cried to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

Main Ieowa, i likwir won komui, o potoan: Komui me ai paip, o pwaij ai nan jap en me maur akan.

6 Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.

Kom kotin mani ai weriwer, pwe nai meid luet; dore ia la jan me kin pakipaki ia, pwe nai jota itar on ir.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name, O Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until you recompense me.

Kalua jan nen i nan imaten, pwe i en kapina mar omui. Me pun kan pan pokon don ia, ma kom pan kotin jauaja ia.
