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。

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.”

You Are My Refuge

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

142 With my voice I (B)cry out to the Lord;
    with my voice I (C)plead for mercy to the Lord.
I (D)pour out my complaint before him;
    I tell my trouble before him.

When my spirit (E)faints within me,
    you know my way!
In the path where I walk
    they have (F)hidden a trap for me.
(G)Look to the (H)right and see:
    (I)there is none who takes notice of me;
(J)no refuge remains to me;
    no one cares for my soul.

I cry to you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my (K)refuge,
    my (L)portion in (M)the land of the living.”
(N)Attend to my cry,
    for (O)I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
    (P)for they are too strong for me!
(Q)Bring me out of prison,
    that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me,
    for you will (R)deal bountifully with me.
