Psalmi 142

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

I called out to you, Yahweh; I said, “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 call, for I have been brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

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

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.”
