תהילים 142

1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד בִּֽהְיוֹתוֹ בַמְּעָרָה תְפִלָּֽה׃ קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָה אֶזְעָק קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָה אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock. The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

2 אֶשְׁפֹּךְ לְפָנָיו שִׂיחִי צָרָתִי לְפָנָיו אַגִּֽיד׃

I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

3 בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי ׀ רוּחִי וְאַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ נְֽתִיבָתִי בְּאֹֽרַח־זוּ אֲהַלֵּךְ טָמְנוּ פַח לִֽי׃

When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

4 הַבֵּיט יָמִין ׀ וּרְאֵה וְאֵֽין־לִי מַכִּיר אָבַד מָנוֹס מִמֶּנִּי אֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

5 זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה מַחְסִי חֶלְקִי בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּֽים׃

I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

6 הַקְשִׁיבָה ׀ אֶֽל־רִנָּתִי כִּֽי־דַלּוֹתִי מְאֹד הַצִּילֵנִי מֵרֹדְפַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

7 הוֹצִיאָה מִמַּסְגֵּר ׀ נַפְשִׁי לְהוֹדוֹת אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ בִּי יַכְתִּרוּ צַדִּיקִים כִּי תִגְמֹל עָלָֽי׃

Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
