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.

Utenzi wa Daudi. Alipokuwa pangoni. Maombi. Namlilia Bwana kwa sauti, nainua sauti yangu kwa Bwana anihurumie.

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

Namimina malalamiko yangu mbele zake, mbele zake naeleza shida zangu.

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.

Wakati roho yangu inapozimia ndani yangu, wewe ndiwe unajua njia zangu. Katika njia ninayopita watu wameniwekea mtego.

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.

Tazama kuume kwangu na uone, hakuna hata mmoja anayejihusisha nami. Sina kimbilio, hakuna anayejali maisha yangu.

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

Ee Bwana, nakulilia wewe, nasema, “Wewe ni kimbilio langu, fungu langu katika nchi ya walio hai.”

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

Sikiliza kilio changu, kwa sababu mimi ni mhitaji sana; niokoe na wale wanaonifuatilia, kwa kuwa wamenizidi nguvu.

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.

Nifungue kutoka kifungo changu, ili niweze kulisifu jina lako. Ndipo wenye haki watanizunguka, kwa sababu ya wema wako kwangu.
