Psalmi 142

1 Dāvida pamācība; lūgšana, kad viņš bija alā. Es piesaucu To Kungu ar savu balsi, es lūdzu To Kungu ar savu balsi.

A maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. With my voice I cry out for help to Yahweh; with my voice I plead for Yahweh's favor.

2 Es izgāžu savu žēlošanos Viņa priekšā, es izstāstu Viņa priekšā savas bēdas.

I pour out my lament before him; I tell him my troubles.

3 Kad mans gars iztrūcināts, tad Tu zini manu ceļu; tie man liek valgus ceļā, kur es eju.

When my spirit is weak within me, you know my path. In the way that I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

4 Skaties pa labo roku un redzi, tur nav neviena, kas mani grib pazīt: es nekur nevaru izbēgt, neviens nebēdā par manu dvēseli.

I look to my right and and see that there is no one who cares about me. There is no escape for me; no one cares about my life.

5 Tevi es piesaucu, Kungs; es saku: Tu esi mana cerība, mana daļa dzīvo zemē.

I called out to you, Yahweh; I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

6 Ņem vērā manu kliegšanu, jo es esmu ļoti nonīcis; izglāb mani no maniem vajātājiem, jo tie man ir visai vareni.

Listen to my call, for I have been brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

7 Izved manu dvēseli no cietuma, ka es pateicos Tavam vārdam; par mani gavilēs taisnie, kad Tu man labu darīsi.

Bring my soul out of prison so that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will gather around me because you have been good to me.”
