Psalms 142

1 An Instructive Psalm of David. When he was in the Cave. A Prayer. With my voice—to Yahweh, make I outcry, With my voice—to Yahweh, make I supplication:

我高聲向上主呼求， 我高聲向天主求助。

2 I pour out before him my complaint, My distress—before him, I tell.

我向他傾吐我的愁苦，我向他陳訴我的憂慮。

3 When my spirit fainted concerning myself, then, thou, didst take note of my path, —In the course which I was about to take, they had hidden a snare for me.

當我精神愁苦的時候，惟有您知悉我的路途。在我行走的道路途中；他們給我設下陷阱。

4 Look to the right hand and see, that there is none that, for me, hath regard, —Escape is lost to me, There is no one to care for my life.

我向右觀察細看，沒有一個熟悉我的人！沒有一人我可投奔，沒有一人為我操心。

5 I have made outcry unto thee, O Yahweh, —I have said, Thou, art my refuge, my portion, in the land of the living.

上主，我今呼號說：你是我的避難所，在這活人的地方，你就是我的福爵。

6 Attend thou unto my loud cry, for I am brought very low, —Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.

求您傾聽我的哀號，因我十分可憐無靠，求您救我脫離迫害我的人，因他們是比我強悍的人。

7 O bring forth, out of prison, my soul, That I may give thanks unto thy Name, —About me, let the righteous gather round, for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

求您引領我出離監牢，好讓我讚美您的名號。義人前呼後擁歡迎我，因為您大量恩待了我。
