诗篇 142

1 大卫在洞里作的训诲诗，乃是祈祷。 我发声哀告耶和华， 发声恳求耶和华。

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 我在他面前吐露我的苦情， 陈说我的患难。

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

3 我的灵在我里面发昏的时候， 你知道我的道路。 在我行的路上， 敌人为我暗设网罗。

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 求你向我右边观看， 因为没有人认识我； 我无处避难， 也没有人眷顾我。

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 耶和华啊，我曾向你哀求。 我说：你是我的避难所； 在活人之地，你是我的福分。

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

6 求你侧耳听我的呼求， 因我落到极卑之地； 求你救我脱离逼迫我的人， 因为他们比我强盛。

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

7 求你领我出离被囚之地， 我好称赞你的名。 义人必环绕我， 因为你是用厚恩待我。

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.”
