Dagiti Salmo 142

1 Iyasugko ti timekko kenni Yahweh; iti napigsa a timek agpakaasiak kenni Yahweh.

A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.

2 Agdung-awak iti sangoananna; ibagak kenkuana dagiti pakariribukak.

I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.

3 No agkapoy ti espirituk iti kaunggak, ammom ti dalanko. Iti dalan a pagnaak, nangilemmengda iti pakaipalab-ogak.

When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.

4 Kumitaak iti makannawanko ket nakitak nga awan ti mangikankano kaniak. Awan ti mangsalaknib kaniak; awan ti mangikankano iti biagko.

I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.

5 Immawagak kenka, O Yahweh; Kinunak, “Sika ti kamangko, ti kasapulak iti daga dagiti sibibiag.

I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.

6 Dumngegka iti asugko, ta naibabaak unayen; ispalennak kadagiti mangparparigat kaniak, gapu ta napigpigsada ngem siak.

Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.

7 Irruarmo ti kararuak manipud iti pagbaludan tapno makapagyamanak ti naganmo. Maummong iti aglawlawko dagiti nalinteg gapu ta nagsayaatka kaniak.”

Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”
