Psalms 142

1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A PRAYER WHEN HE IS IN THE CAVE. My voice [is] to YHWH, I cry, My voice [is] to YHWH, I beg [for] grace.

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 forth my meditation before Him, I declare my distress before Him.

我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陈说我的患难。

3 When my spirit has been feeble in me, Then You have known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid 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 Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Refuge has perished from me, There is none inquiring 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 to you, O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] 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 to my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver me from my pursuers, For they have been 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 forth my soul from prison to confess Your Name, The righteous surround me about, When You confer benefits on 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。
