Psalms 142

1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.

[Psalm lal David ke el muta in luf sac] Nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD Elan kasreyu; Aok, nga kwafe nu sel.

2 I pour forth before Him my (meditation) My distress before Him I declare.

Nga use mwe torkaskas luk nukewa nu yorol, Nga fahkak ongoiya nukewa luk nu sel.

3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

Ke nga apkuran in fuhleak, El etu lah mea fal nga in oru. Ke inkanek su nga fahsr kac Mwet lokoalok luk elos okanla mwe kwasrip in sruokyuwi.

4 Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

Ke nga ngetnget nu siskuk, Nga liye tuh wanginna mwet in kasreyu. Wangin mwet in karinginyu, Wanginna mwet nunku keik.

5 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

LEUM GOD, nga pang nu sum tuh kom in kasreyu; Kom nien molela luk, LEUM GOD. Kom mukena pa nga enenu in moul se inge.

6 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

Porongo ke nga pang, Tuh nga arulana muta in ongoiya. Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk; Elos arulana ku likiyu.

7 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!

Aksukosokyeyu liki mwe keok luk, Na nga fah kaksakin kom in walil lun mwet lom Ke sripen orekma wo lom nu sik.
