Psalms 142

1 A maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. With my voice I cry out for help to Yahweh; with my voice I plead for Yahweh's favor.

大衛在洞裏作的訓誨詩，乃是祈禱。 我發聲哀告耶和華， 發聲懇求耶和華。

2 I pour out my lament before him; I tell him my troubles.

我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陳說我的患難。

3 When my spirit is weak within me, you know my path. In the way that I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

我的靈在我裏面發昏的時候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敵人為我暗設網羅。

4 I look to my right and and see that there is no one who cares about me. There is no escape for me; no one cares about my life.

求你向我右邊觀看， 因為沒有人認識我； 我無處避難， 也沒有人眷顧我。

5 I called out to you, Yahweh; I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

耶和華啊，我曾向你哀求。 我說：你是我的避難所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

6 Listen to my call, for I have been brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

求你側耳聽我的呼求， 因我落到極卑之地； 求你救我脫離逼迫我的人， 因為他們比我強盛。

7 Bring my soul out of prison so that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will gather around me because you have been good to me.”

求你領我出離被囚之地， 我好稱讚你的名。 義人必環繞我， 因為你是用厚恩待我。
