大卫在洞里作的训诲诗,是一篇祈祷。

求主眷顾

142 我出声哀告耶和华,
    出声恳求耶和华。
我在他面前倾诉我的苦情,
    在他面前陈说我的患难。
我的灵在我里面发昏的时候,
    你知道我的道路。

在我所行的路上,
    人为我暗设罗网。
求你留意向我右边观看,
    无人认识我;
我无避难之处,
    也无人眷顾我。

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。”
求你留心听我的呼求,
    因我落到极卑微之地;
求你救我脱离迫害我的人,
    因为他们比我强盛。
求你从被囚之地领我出来,
    我好颂扬你的名。
义人必环绕我,
    因为你用厚恩待我。

Psalm 142

A maskil[a] by David when he was in the cave; a prayer.

Loudly, I cry to Yahweh.
    Loudly, I plead with Yahweh for mercy.
I pour out my complaints in his presence
    and tell him my troubles.
        When I begin to lose hope,
            you already know what I am experiencing.

My enemies have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
Look to my right and see that no one notices me.
    Escape is impossible for me.
        No one cares about me.

I call out to you, O Yahweh.
    I say, “You are my Machseh,
    my own inheritance in this world of the living.”
Pay attention to my cry for help
    because I am very weak.
    Rescue me from those who pursue me
    because they are too strong for me.
Release my soul from prison
    so that I may give thanks to your name.
        Righteous people will surround me
            because you are good to me.

  1. Psalm 142:1 Unknown musical term.

142 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

A Plea for Relief from Persecutors

A (A)Contemplation[a] of David. A Prayer (B)when he was in the cave.

142 I cry out to the Lord with my voice;
With my voice to the Lord I make my supplication.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

When my spirit [b]was (C)overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly (D)set a snare for me.
Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
[c]Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may (E)praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”
