Psalms 142

1 [A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.] I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.

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 out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

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, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden 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 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares 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 to you, LORD. I 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 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than me.

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 give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to 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。
