Psalmi 142

1 S svojim glasom sem klical h Gospodu, s svojim glasom sem storil svojo ponižno prošnjo h Gospodu.

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

2 Svojo pritožbo sem izlil pred njim, pred njim sem pokazal svojo stisko.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

3 Ko je bil moj duh znotraj mene nadvladan, tedaj ti poznaš mojo pot. Na stezi, po kateri sem hodil, so zame na skrivnem postavili zanko.

Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Pogledal sem na svojo desnico in zagledal, toda ni bilo človeka, ki bi me poznal. Zatočišče se mi je izneverilo, noben človek ni skrbel za mojo dušo.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

5 Klical sem k tebi, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moje zatočišče in moj delež v deželi živih.«

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Prisluhni mojemu joku, kajti zelo sem ponižan. Osvobodi me pred mojimi preganjalci, kajti močnejši so od mene.

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

7 Privedi mojo dušo iz ječe, da bom lahko hvalil tvoje ime. Pravični me bodo obdali, kajti radodarno boš postopal z menoj.

Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
