苦難中的呼求

大衛在洞裡作的訓誨詩,也是禱告。

142 我向耶和華呼求,
我高聲向祂求助,
我在祂面前傾訴我的苦情,
向祂述說我的患難。
耶和華啊,我心力交瘁的時候,
只有你知道我當走的路。
敵人已在我行的路上鋪下網羅。
看看我左右,無人關心我;
我走投無路,無人眷顧我。
耶和華啊,我向你呼求,
你是我的避難所,
在世上你是我的福分。
求你垂聽我的呼求,
因為我身陷絕境。
求你救我脫離迫害我的人,
因為他們太強大了。
求你救我脫離牢籠,
好讓我讚美你。
因為你恩待我,
義人必聚集在我周圍。

Psalm 142[a]

A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave.(A) A prayer.

I cry aloud(B) to the Lord;
    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.(C)
I pour out before him my complaint;(D)
    before him I tell my trouble.(E)

When my spirit grows faint(F) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;(G)
    no one cares(H) for my life.

I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,(I)
    my portion(J) in the land of the living.”(K)

Listen to my cry,(L)
    for I am in desperate need;(M)
rescue me(N) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong(O) for me.
Set me free from my prison,(P)
    that I may praise your name.(Q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.(R)

Salmo 142

Oración en la angustia

Masquil de David, cuando estaba en la cueva. Plegaria.

142 Clamo al Señor con mi voz(A);
Con mi voz suplico al Señor(B).
Delante de Él expongo mi queja(C);
En Su presencia manifiesto mi angustia(D).
Cuando mi espíritu desmayaba dentro de mí(E),
Tú conociste mi senda.
En la senda en que camino
Me han tendido una trampa(F).
Mira a la derecha, y ve,
Porque no hay quien me tome en cuenta(G);
No hay refugio para mí(H);
No hay quien cuide de mi alma(I).
¶A Ti he clamado, Señor;
Dije: «Tú eres mi refugio(J),
Mi porción(K) en la tierra de los vivientes(L).
-»Atiende a mi clamor(M),
Porque estoy muy abatido(N);
Líbrame de los que me persiguen,
Porque son más fuertes que yo(O).
-»Saca mi alma de la prisión(P),
Para que yo dé gracias a Tu nombre;
Los justos me rodearán,
Porque Tú me colmarás de bendiciones(Q)».

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.
