Psalms 142

1 Maschil of David; a prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I made my supplication.

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

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.

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

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way in which I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

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

4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

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 I cried to thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living.

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

6 Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

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

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall encompass me; for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

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