Psalms 142

1 Yahweh, I cry out to you; I plead [with you to help me].

Pesem ukovita Davidova, ko je bil v jami, molitev. Z glasom svojim kličem Gospoda; z glasom svojim prosim pred Gospodom.

2 I am bringing to you [all] my problems; I am telling you [all] my troubles/difficulties.

Pred njim iztresam premišljevanje svoje; stisko svojo oznanjam pred njim.

3 When I am very discouraged, you know what I should do. Wherever I walk, [it is as though] my enemies have hidden traps for me [to fall into].

Ko je omagoval moj duh v meni, takrat si ti spoznal stezo mojo, ko so mi skrivali zanko, kamorkoli sem popotoval.

4 I look around, but there is no one who pays attention to me, no one who will protect me, no one who cares about [what happens to] me.

Ozri se na desno in poglej; ni ga, da bi me poznal; izginilo mi je zavetje, ni ga, da bi skrbel za življenje moje.

5 [So] Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; you are the one who protects me; and you are all that I need while I am alive.

K tebi kličem, Gospod, govoreč: Ti si zavetje moje, delež moj v deželi živečih.

6 Listen to me while I cry out to you [for help], because I am very distressed. Rescue/Save me from those who are pursuing me, because they are very strong, with the result that I cannot [escape from them].

Poslušaj vpitje moje, ker ponižan sem silno; otmi me njih, ki me preganjajo, ker močnejši so od mene.

7 Free/Rescue me from my troubles/difficulties [MET] in order that I may thank you. If you do that, when I am with godly/righteous [people], [I will praise you] for having been very good to me.

Izpelji iz zapora življenje moje, da slavim ime tvoje; obdajali me bodo pravični, ko mi bodeš izkazal dobroto.
